Synopsis

A man discovers that his grandfather built a machine to bring people from another dimension to his home town and keep from returning as long as it functioned. He discovers the machine in the attic still running eighty years later and hatches a plan to extort the descendants of the people by threatening to turn off the machine and exiling them from this dimension. They reject his demand for payment so he attempts to demonstrate his threat by turning the dial on machine, but he himself disappears as he was unaware that his mother was one of other dimensional beings brought over.
