Synopsis for "It Happened in the Attic!"
While visiting the laboratory of his friend Alvin Sultan, irresponsible playboy Roger Koning learns that Al has created a time device that allows someone to move forward or backward in time. When Sultan refuses to allow him to use the device to go back in time one hundred years and give his great great grandfather advice on certain investments that would greatly increase his inheritance, Roger waits until Alvin leaves for the day, pries open a window and steals the time device which he takes to the family mansion that he inherited. After stocking up on canned goods, Roger activates the device and begins to "live backwards" at an ever-increasing rate of speed.
Eventually, after a long and tedious time spent in the attic, Roger succeeds in going back one hundred years in time. However, soon after arriving, he is confronted by a young man who demands to know what Roger is doing in his house. When Roger replies that it is his house, the man calls him a liar and an intruder and they both attack each other. When Roger begins to suspect that he is going to lose the struggle, he grabs an iron bar and uses it to kill the other man. It's only after his foe lies dead that Roger remembers that, since he is one hundred years in the past, the house does not actually belong to him and realizes that the dead man is the real owner, his great great grandfather. Realizing that he could never explain the truth to the law, Roger decides to go back to 1957 so that the law will never be able to get him but then realizes that the fact that he has killed his young and unmarried ancestor before he fathered any children means that Roger's great grandfather, grandfather and father will now never be born, and neither will Roger himself. Believing that he can't go back because he no longer exists in the future, Roger realizes that he'll have to stay in the past and take his punishment because the future can't exist for him anymore!
