Synopsis for "Trapped Between Two Worlds!"
A scientist uses a cat to test a matter transportation device and then the cat gets revenge by tripping the control switch while the man is working on it. He finds himself beamed to an experimental receiving device stationed on a planet of warlike aliens who haven't yet figured out the secret of getting it to work. While he is stuck in the status field, the aliens demand he given them the knowledge. He finds their attitude suspicious and refuses, but they download the information from his mind in anticipation of invasion plans for Earth. The man frees himself by throwing his watch against the controls, and pursues the aliens to where they have taken his thought download disk for decoding, and he seizes it from them and makes a break back towards the transmitter. He arrives safely back on Earth and destroys his version of the machine so they cannot follow him.
