- Synopsis
- In the year 2152, a group of aliens kill a man and steal his brain so they can study it and learn about Earthlings for plans of conquest of Earth. By reading his thoughts they are unimpressed by the primitive technology and weapons of Earthlings and decide to attack. Earth's defence forces strike back and destroy the alien ship with ease. It turns out the man they had killed was a mental patient and believed he was Napoleon Bonaparte. His delusions led the aliens to believe it was early 19th century Earth.
