Synopsis for "Black Destroyer!"
On a ruined planet an alien creature named Coeurl stalks a group of astronauts from Earth. He pretends to be a docile simple beast to earn their trust and allowing passage in their ship. Once in the ship he begins picking them off one-bye-one until his plans are discovered. Once discovered he successfully builds a rocket to travel to his sun only to be deadlocked due to anti-acceleration and be corned back onto the astronauts' ship.
