The Great Dimensional Brain Swap
A research scientist named Harold Wilson receives and interdimensional message from an alien that wishes to trade places with him to exchange scientific information. The exchange is made, and Wilson is transported to an alien world while an alien named LL-2 takes his place on earth. Wilson soon discovers that the aliens have mastered gravity and use it as an energy source Wilson also notices a group of alien statues that seem to be communicating with him. He receives a mental message from the statues declaring that they are alive and are being held prisoner. Wilson sets them free, and the alien trio reveals that Wilson has been dealing with escaped convicts that have taken over the scientific facility. Their plan is to escape to earth but Wilson is then attacked by the alien convicts once more. He is urged to use his mental powers to aid him in subduing the aliens. Wilson uses his mind to overpower the alien convicts. Wilson returns back to earth and the alien LL-2 is brought back to his own dimension.
