An experiment in the desert has brought to Earth a bizarre kind of bird, which has proven to his associates Lewis and Drake of the veracity of his theories. But they object to his ruthless intention to next bring a man from the so-called “shadow world”, kidnapping him from a mirage of a massive city nearby. Benton manages to free himself when they tie him up, and attempts to perform the experiment by himself. Instead, he finds himself disappearing from Earth and appearing on the parallel world. Ben at first thinks he had accidentally used the machine on himself, leaving open the possibility that Lewis and Drake will rescue him. He soon realizes the exact same experiment, performed by an even more ruthless team of scientists than he and his associates, had brought him to the world shown by the mirage, when he is approached by a small group of strangely garbed humanoids.
