Synopsis for "The Warning!"

On December 13th, 2157, two men walk together on a moonless night. One man tells the other the tale of Dr. Leo Bishop. Flashback

Dr. Bishop was one of the brightest and most selfless scientific minds of all time. One of his mentors discovered that Bishop was researching the old legends of King Midas, and believed that he could scientifically duplicate the fabled "Midas Touch". Bishop succeeded in his task, and created a serum, which he then injected into his dog. Anything that made physical contact with the animal turned into gold. Bishop donated all of his gold to the National Treasury, and the economy prospered greatly.
Years passed until one day a greedy opportunist broke into Bishop's laboratory seeking to steal the formula. Bishop and the thief grappled with one another, until they both accidentally touched the dog. The contact instantly transformed both men into gold.

Concluding the tale, the two older men finish their walk. They observe the golden statue of Bishop struggling with the other man – a permanent reminder of the ultimate price of greed.
