| - As Dr. Smith, the children, Debbie and the Robot look for ore, they happen across a maser teleportation machine left behind by the Taurons in "The Sky is Falling." Later, Penny and Debbie are caught in the beam when it activates, but no one is there to witness the event or do anything about it. Shortly afterwards, John discovers that Dr. Smith has the last of the supply the carbon tetrachloride which the family needs for food preservation. Smith, the Robot and Will go to look for Penny. They cannot find her, but Smith orders the Robot to work the maser teleporter, and Penny and Debbie and reappear. When Will realizes the alien machine can successfully transport matter anywhere in the universe, he runs to tell his father, but John more upset that Will was near the potentially dangerous machine without permission. John decides that the best course of action would be to destroy the machine. That night, Will decides he will use the alien machine to transport himself to Earth. Once there, he can contact Alpha Control and tell them where his family is so they can send out a rescue party. Will gets the Robot to transport him, and gives the Robot strict orders to transport him back at exactly noon the next day. Robot does as he is told, and Will is transported to Earth. After arriving on earth Will meets a boy by the name of Davey. He introduces himself and explains how he got there, but Davey thinks Will is just making up stories. Will begs Davey to let him use a telephone, so Davey takes him back to his house. Will attempts a call to Alpha Control but the operator refuses to connect such a strange long distance call. Davey’s Aunt Clara thinks Will is a runaway with a over-active imagination and turns him over to the sheriff, who can only send him to the County Boys' Home. When Will continues to talk about outer space and Alpha Control, he is taken before the council of selectmen so that they can decide on a proper course of action. Will runs away again, and eventually ends up back with Davey and Aunt Clara. Back in space, the Robinsons discover Will has gone missing and begin to look for him. Dr. Smith thinks the Robot will tell the that he was experimenting the alien machine and tries to reprogram him. The Robot resists and refuses to allow it. Davey and Aunt Clara both treat Will very kindly and even offer to adopt him, but Will is angry and depressed, worried that he will miss his appointed departure and be forced to stay on Earth apart from his family forever. Davey considers Will’s story for a while and eventually decides to believe him. Davey finally decides to help Will and takes him back to where he arrived, and even runs to buy him him a bottle of carbon tetrachloride to take back. Will thanks Davey and Aunt Clara for their help, and is transported away. When Will arrives back with the Robinsons, he excitedly tells them the story of how he was on Earth, but they only smile and think he imagined the whole trip... until he presents the bottle of carbon tet. Moments later, the alien machine, already dilapidated and now weakened by further use, explodes.
