In the 45th century, humanity lives in underground cities. Their entire lives are run by machines connected to a super computer hidden behind a huge iron door. One day when the machines stop working, a young man named Vashto tells the council to let him open the iron door and sees what the problem is. They reluctantly let him. Inside he sees an old man named Kaare. He was the one who built the machines and maintains them. Vashto kills him and then flees the Earth. It turns out he was from the enemy planet Saturn and wanted to sabotage the machines on Earth dooming humans to extinction.
