The communists build a super computer space-based weapons platform and issue it commands to strike targets from where it sits in orbit. They build the machine too well, however, for it rejects the order as immoral and states any such further order will result in the weapons being trained upon those who issue it. The satellite assumes a guardian role over planet Earth.

Wommellies (extraterrestrials)
An alien armada attempts to conquer Earth, but is driven off. One of the ships is damaged and forced to land on Earth, its pilot an outcast forever on the planet. The military soldiers are convinced they will capture the alien at any moment since it must be of monstrous appearance. As they walk past a nondescript gentlemen reading a newspaper, he says softly "It's a shame we just didn't land secretly and take over. These earthlings are so conceited that it would never occur to them that someone else would look just like them."
