From IMDB: The theft of a series of scientific documents and equipment become perplexing with the only clue being unexplained time shifts that occur at the time the items went missing.
__________________________________________________
An intriguing story!
Vincent Price is the head of a group of scientists who are planning a project to mine the ocean for minerals and organic material.
But their plans are inexplicably disrupted by a bizarre series of events that seem physically impossible. A key piece of equipment and a series of important documents are stolen from right under ther noses of the research goup..
Furthermore, periods of time elapse without anyone realizing it until after the event.
A plan is devised to trap the "time thief" which involves high speed cameras which the scientists hope will reveal how the seemingly magical thefts were accomplished.
Watch the YouTube video of this episode and learn the surprising answer! _________________ ____________

I remember watching SFT religeously as a kid! It was aired on Saturday afternoons here, and even if I had no idea about the "science" involved I loved every episode! At its' best it drove me to look up and research whatever concept it brought up. _________________ There comes a time, thief, when gold loses its lustre, and the gems cease to sparkle, and the throne room becomes a prison; and all that is left is a father's love for his child. |

Right on, Professor Green!
In fact, I was doing that same thing yesterday while spending the day watching Science Fiction Theatre and adding posts to this forum. Truman Bradley offers a wealth of science information, and I frequently jumped over to Google to find out more about something he shared with us.
I had an absolute ball, and I'm going to do it again today. YouTube has 56 episodes. I suspect that the 22 episodes they don't have are the ones on the Shout Factory DVD box set that couldn't be restored effectively. (By the way, that box is no longer available. )
Here's the link to the Classic TV and Movies site on YouTube which has 56 of the 78 episode that aired. _________________ ____________
