Notes: After a great 'welcome to horror' splash, we learn that Dr. Randall Hart, one of the great bio-chemists of our time, has invented a serum that will bring mankind everlasting life.

He hopes to rule the world by becoming immortal, but living to the end of time may be more than he wished for...

Notes: A young atomic shield engeneer has built a shelter to hide himself and his fiancee from the monster hydrogen-atom bombs which will wipe out every vestige of the human race at any moment. But she doesn't want to join him in his dungeon. While they argue alongside the atomic plant where he works, a huge explosion pulls them apart and he survives alone in his shelter. When he gets out, his girlfriend hasn't changed a bit... but the world has.
