Synopsis: A future man travels into the past to rule but finds himself sinking into a pit of swamp quicksand. He sees a couple of hunters and tries to control their minds through telepathic communication, but their minds are too primitive.

Despairing, he reverses the time direction and deposits himself into the hands of the authorities.
