Investigating reports of a miniature airplane, Fitzhugh and Valerie are captured by Melzac, a scientist who is in communication with his twin brother halfway across the planet. Melzac captures Dan and Steve, and sends all four of them up in the plane. They are then somehow "teleported" across the planet to the Graveyard of Fools, from which no expedition has ever returned.



The Graveyard appears to be a literal graveyard, with headstones of Steve and Fitzhugh. Eventually the four are reunited after ducking strange hallucinogenic monsters, and Steve and Valerie are grabbed by Melzac's twin brother Bryk. They need the little people to repair an alien "servo-actuator" that gives them power over time and space. Dan and Fitz free them, while Mark and Betty manage to regain control of the plane. The servo-actuator overloads just after they all manage to teleport back, destroying both brothers with the feedback.
