An alien made of living electricity visits Earth to regain its strength after becoming stuck in a space time warp. Since it has hidden itself in a cave, and siphoned off the nearby electrical current, a scientist goes looking for the source of the power disruption. He finds the alien and realizes that it's friendly, but the frightened townsfolk come upon the cave and mistake the alien's large size for menace and take the scientist as a collaborator. The alien is angered at the hostility the townspeople demonstrate and departs without imparting any knowledge leaving the townsfolk to express their regret at their ignorant behavior.
