Quote1 It seems unbelievable!! But it must be true! And there is only one possible explanation... What we regarded as a monster of Earth must actually be an alien from the water planet-- Aqua-Centurious... It's spaceship crash landed here in the ocean ...and couldn't leave the water-- for it couldn't breathe our air! Quote2

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.

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.
