It was like a terrible knifemare Even now, I sometimes wait from the dream
and find myself shaking from the memory of it. I'll never forget when I
first saw him, a man so monstrous, so unhuman, that I refuse
to think it could ever happen again to anyone else. But who can be
sure others have had the same idea. Oh, yes, the law forbids
it. But laws are broken every day. Will it happen again to someone
else someday in the future, Perhaps, perhaps will happened the money. I
don't want to see it to hear the story of this strange monster. Listen
in a moment two two thousand plus Adventures in the World of Tomorrow comatic story
is of science fiction from the years beyond two thousand a d. They an
amazing story of science uncontrolled. A giant walks monsters. You are monsters.
Let's just say your slimy stomach stay direct, doctor said, always seek rest
if you wait figging out already. If I had my way cheerly, lest
it's put I I wouldn't go towards the bohim all right, or be long
can be quite a mess, yes, doctor Elsworth, Because everything ready Western,
Yes, doctor Barstow, Yes, then open the cage looking cool.
I've never seen a rat running maze A reficly checked that gold Grady in Western.
Yes, doctor, the rats in the food box now, TECHNI SKay
eleven point eight. There you see Western not an unusual intelligence, just high,
well above that of the average wreck. Look at them, the power
in those lakes, Barstow. Just imagine what they could do with their teeth
if they had the chance. It's frightening to think, well, what happened
for all rats? Giant rats? You think at lusis evolution barstole merely the
scientific elimination of group barriers. Now that your experiments for success, we can
tell the world. Your theories will be accepted. You'll regain your rightful place
in science, not your barstole. Not yet. I'm already at work on
what I consider will be an ultimate experiment. It's only a matter of calculating
shacking and verifying date on the rests so we can build a larger pituitary revitalizer.
What animal do you have in mind that there's a new experiment, doctor
outwith what animal? But there's only one that I could possibly be interested in?
Now it's the next logical stiff. Surely you can't mean s Bosco,
a man you ordered to see me. Doctor Elsworth is worse than I want
to talk to you about the experiment on human beings. I want you to
help me with the experiment. I hope you are not thinking of me.
Doctor, I was great. I don't think it matter. Western. Don't
you think it would be valuable to give yourself to science for all that?
But seeing that there are so many to choose, for so many Weston who
for example, I'm sure that old Hawkins won't do and we really can kidnap
them or anyone. But after els I'd say it would be a great honor
to be the first real superman on Earth. Oh how about Barstel Exactly Western,
just what I was leading up to. You seem relieved. Yes,
in Barstow we have a real physical specimen, and he seems they have quite
a boundless enthusiasm for the future of mankind, an attitude you apparently don't check.
How could we get him to agree to it? Psychology, Western,
It's merely a matter of appealing in the proper manner to his scientific judgment.
Sense of their play. Now here is what I want you to do when
he gets back world glad to see you back, Barstow at your outwre west
than telling me you're ready to begin the final experiments. I'm man, yes,
Barsto. I soon hope to be the first of a new race,
a race that will make the man of today look like a pygmy, puny
and insignificant. If the experiment succeeds, my physical size will double or even
priple. I'll be able to live at least three hundred years instead of the
one hundred or so odd years a man can expect to day. The brain
cells will probably also expand, giving me an intelligence that will make you and
Western look like products of the stoney. I don't think it's fair for you
to sacrifice yourself. It's not fairy humanity. If you died, I'll be
nobody to carry on. You know, these experiments are illegal. We could
never find another subject. It would have to be one of us three or
nobody. I'd be willing to take the chance. Doctors W and so and
I. You can't go through with this. Doctor elsewhere, You're needed to
direct the experiments. Gentlemen. Gentlemen, I see you have the true scientific
spirit. Well, since I am unwilling to give up my right to be
the subject, and you're unwilling to let me be the subject, and there's
only one way out. What's that we'll draw whats if you agree be the
decision of the faith. That sounds like a good idea, do you think,
Sir barstow By? Sure, yes, sir, Well, it's the
only way out, my boy. One of us must be the guinea.
Take Now, I will tear a three stra sapor. Now the lots are
arranged in my hand. Whoever gets the short one will submit to the experiment,
and there will be no further objection from any of us. For great
are great? Right, Jew gentlemen, Western Bosto myself, h I've n
the short one. Yes, i'd like, I'd like some times see Barbara,
doctor Elsweth before the experiment. I'll give you three weeks to straight night
you're a third Barstow. Then i'll expect you back at the laboratory facts.
So why don't that's the third Weston? That's enough? Well Bosto, are
you ready? Like ready? Doctor else? Right? You know it may
be painful at first, but after the primary series, I don't think you'll
notice much. I'm not why doctor else right, No, of course not
well, good luck boy, Like you said, contacts open Western, Yes,
doctor them like the circuits. That's fine. I'll keep it steady and
three thousand. Prepare for the first injection. We'll give him five electronic unit
charges. Open all your feeling bus though pain. My whole body is numb.
You've got to stop the experiment. He's out again. Else you think
we're doing the right thing. It's hard being a slow down. Soon,
I'm afraid of what Weston. You're not losing a nerve are No, No,
no, it's only that I thought. Don't do anythinking. Western,
I'll do that part of it. You just check the regenerator charts. Everyone
that nothing is going to keep me from completing this experiment. And I warn
you enough to try to interfere. Western, close the circuit. We'll object
again. One hundred ccs half of them in three weeks. I can't believe
a doctor Usmith. Look at him, twelve feet tall and you weigh seven
hundred and fifty pounds. Of course, Western, as I told you,
there's very little difference really between a rap and a man. For all animals.
As doctor he hasn't give himuch sign of life during the past few days.
You think his body can stand the strain of all this growth, certainly.
In fact, I think we'll give him the final superinjection today. About
five hundred CC should do it. Nine hundred that's five times what we've been
giving to Earth. Western. We're building a new skeletal structure, new flesh,
cottage and bones. Contacts open David Deady is six thousand. We've got
to provide the final shot for a system. But that was completely open,
Doctor Revelt. All right, now, Lock Western, We've done it.
He's thirty feet tall. Of is an inch fossil? Can you really can
you understand what I'm saying? Slowly? Votle slowly? You're not an ordinary
human being? And more he's getting up here, heay, but happening to
me? Why is everything so small? Or experiment as a success. Bottle
your superhan? I've made your superhan that I can't move my head? Is
that in the skylight? Soup down bustle. That's a roly door in the
side of a laboratory. I think you can call through that easy bottle very
slowly as it Well, how does the world look now? You have some
elbow room. Small. The world is very small, pretty feet, muscle
bone. It's my creation, my creation. Western. Let's have a report
all our testing. So far as best I can figure, doctor, the
subject that lived almost twenty times as much weight as an ordinary man and run
approximately sixty miles an hour without difficulty. Oddly enough, though, he appears
to get along fine and four or five hours sleep a night. But he's
consuming food at a rate that's all out of proportional. That's understandable, that's
still making an adjustments. Go on, meatally very superior theirs to be able
to solve the most complicated problems right in his head. So just as I
predicted. But this morning, though, after I just finished giving him the
work test, he pulled up a tree by the roots waited at me,
frightening. I ran and he began laughing. Sounded more like fun less than
you're living your imagination. Run away with you. It's quite obbuse. What's
the matter. He's not getting enough exercise. We've got to give him more
physical work to do. Come on, there you are that's sitting on that
hill, and there boss, Yes, doctor, l's worth. I want
you to take this special shovel with made for you and take a trench western
mom for you. Check your work feet all right, Doctor L's whatever you
say. See it's quite simple. We've just got to keep him occupied.
Doctor Elsworth Hyde, I like to ask you a question, is what are
we going to do with Boston? I mean, why are we going to
tell the world about it? We can't go on and continue it this way
we can, and once we're sure of ourselves, we'll get up a n
We'll make giants of them. We're building a race worm, a race of
superman with which we can rule the world. We've only to learn how to
control Barsol. So you'll respond to whatever command, and then we'll build an
army. That's not right, you know, Wen, you're a good assistant.
It's only what you think that you get into trouble. Are you awake?
What do you? Uh? I must talk to you act elsewhereth bluts
to use me for the next experiment. Oh what's that to me? I
don't think you understand. He's working at a method to control you electronically as
a giant. What he's been waiting for and what we can finally control you.
You begin to make more giants I want to build an army of giants
so we can take over the world. That is true. Doctor Elsworth is
interested only in science. You just don't want to be a freak as I
am. Got to ask some everything. Just because I was unlucky at drawing
lots, don't know, not lucky bar Stall framed doctor Elsworth and I agreed
to volunteer just to get you to volunteer. We were raised a lot so
that you would be chosen a police part. That's why I let you know.
I wanted here to do something about it before Charlie and what are you
want to do? Where are you going, Doctor Elsworth? Doctor ELL's Worth?
What's what are you doing at my window? I've come to tell you
I can't go on with these experiments. I'm through, doctor Elsworth, or
raving Bosto. Go back to your quarters in the barn and we'll talk about
it in the morning. I can't go back to the barn. Why not.
I'm tired of living in the barn. I knocked it down. Harm
down, bus or calm down before you do any more than me. Yes,
Doctor else Worth, that's just what your life, isn't it for me
to calm down? To become nothing but a giant rule in your hands,
a tool for conquest and revenge. Isn't that so, Doctor el's Worth,
I don't know what you're talking about, you know, all right? And
what's more important time th Doctor Elsworth. I know that you tricked me into
volunteering for this experiment. What if I did, you were the best physical
specured stop at nothing to carry out your hideous experiments future of mankind? That's
a good one. You're not interested in mankind at all. You're only interested
in building a super race for your own ends. You want an army of
giants so you can take over the world and bustle. You are my subject
and you have no right to behave this way. If I had the control
of finish, you'll knocked out that wall. Yes, Doctor el's Worth,
and that's just what I ought to do to you. You have no more
right to live than I. How much strength does it take for a thirty
foot man to kill an ordinary man with instant Doctor else Worth, figure that
out. What are you going to do? I'm not going to do anything
to you. I am going to let the World Science Counsel know about your
experiments. Well know what to do about you and you leave? You're a
mos pottery? Do want to thank you for? Besides, you have an
obligation you want by yourself for science is gone? Saw my plans ruin?
Yes? Western, you did this to me. You told him about my
plans? Yes, doctor else and I know you'll ruin the experiment. Wesson,
you'll be great science. You have no right to live or you the
excite these things come inside? Western? Now a gun? Right? Come
along now, Wesson, there's one last experiment I want to perform. Oh,
I'm curious that the other man because stay up against the giant? Right,
don't please? Please help for anything. I don't want to die.
I'll be to start to go to experim Let's correct? Question shot up?
Thought of those things before? That's still why? Hey, Helen, I'm
sure last the old man. Let me have a jet tie tonight. That's
a lovely night to go riding with he Hey, Alan, you hear something?
Listen not to I can't imagine it. Oh, I like it.
This looks like a man the giant, then the royal foot? Nothing?
Why are you afraid of me? I just want to talk. I won't
put it down? What is down? Must I am not a munster.
I am not you were back on the road. He didn't got what you
do. But the police, I've got to know about this giant. All
y'all rockets brown and face throw burn John six or seven immediate most travelers on
Ian I an order human being a paris thirty a body feet high, baby
adres the feat the rocket, Jim head the down on me luck, I
mean I eighty from my sho all rockets, Jack just card the gun more
ere you repeat check all with them? He again, jam I say hold
on, he's stopping moving and he is seven. Well some man, but
what of that rock the one seven to ConTroll located peacher more elepid lead the
direction of the cando fity what can then? Are you got one seventeen ke
bond They'll have all of the about rocket cart and join you. Okay,
Sam one in up now safety office side. We'll find a couple of morning
got to thumb down safe They all right. He's stopping. He's wearing his
hands a circle him. He's circling even seeing Joe. That's for control.
Come in one seventeen, come in a time, prepare for art. Repeat.
He's swinging its that ro Control calling one seventeen. That ro Control calling
one seventeen. They don't answer. Commitiononer. I'm found that. Why can't
we get a video screen? Sakes, I'm working on it, So give
me that microphone. All police Jeffs in their rockets, All Jeffs in their
rockets. Attention, attention. Crocket one seventeen has been attacked by a giant.
Contact has been lost. Takes battle formation, blue, prey, fair
protect, pay fair for attack, good luck. We'll bless that creature around
existence. What could it be, sir? A Mandel another planet as possible.
We can only get that video pick. I'm getting a connection. Look
there he is. What happens with an enormous creature? Yes, I see
it? Calling all rockets take elevation of three thousand and prepare a time on
Tiger's commission. You can it's a battle of mcancy. Oh letill in the
control room, he s about the giant. Got to stop your attack.
Crazy. That creatures a menace. He's knocked down one of our rockets and
now we're going to get him. But you're another spam, sir. Quadrons
elevate and straight out and targets and deal. Look a Mickner on the video
screens. Were lady open up on them, so just give the order.
No, no, no, no, you've got to call up the attack,
mintioner. Look to the right of the giant. There that small hills.
Those two men. If I'm not if one seventeen, they're walking on
my legs at dark Jungcan nine. Thanks god, they're all right there.
You're saying he's nothing to it's not the attack that they's just been running at
the center. TAM's let the command. Were all ships the whole that positions
and the alike in the order unless the giant attack them. Yes, sir,
here sir, they what you know about that creek from off planet?
Don sat man? I tell you know the day my government's had to be
at the laboratory, you would just not become a clam by, doctor west
and I work in that labatory. Last manner not. He's a mad man.
We've got to do something about him. You don't have to do a
thing. It'll all be over in a few minutes. Something's happened. I
don't see the giant anymore. What do you mean all over, doctor Westby,
look at the video screen. Yeah, that's what I mean good heaven,
it's amazing Quarterly twenty to control power. Something's happening. Yes, I
don't see the train and his disappeared. One of all this all police Chaplin
rockets attacked, canceled, briefly, attack canceled, So you see by bread.
I had to thank Western after a he's a disagreeable character. But if
he had an acted so promptly as soon as he found out, those rockets
would have finished me. Those worth hard to kill Weston, didn't he after
you broke away? Yes, with the rats, Western managed to get outside
the cage and they killed doctor else went instead, And shortly after that the
rats fell into a cormack and Western examined won by X ray and he discovered
that the new bone structure was in the process of dissolving into cartilage, and
that cartilage into flesh, which would soon know the way. And you realize
their side has only been maintained by the injection, and it'd soon be back
to their original skeletal structure. That's why he went to the police. How
did he know you drink too? Because they stopped giving me the injections.
Oh, seeing you're here like this, I can't believe all those stories in
the paper about you a horrible picture. I can hardly believe in myself,
Barbara. It's like bad dreams. Oh yes, he's what I came back
for. Back there, here they are, and here they go. You're
burning them. You're the scientifically search up in flames. Hum. But I
don't want another man ever to go through what I did. Had it off
from humanity would be just a specimen and sumb side of zoos. I found
out one thing, Barbara, Thickness isn't a matter of size. A man
can be thirty feet tomorrow, he can be six feet to ow what he
has in his heart that counts. This world doesn't need bigger, more powerful
physical Specmens needs a man with bigness of sal who can allows respect the teleman.
