Dr. Thomas Redfield was a physicist working on a cyclotron at his private laboratory in New York, when his rich fiance Peggy, showed him plans developed by the prophet, Nostredamus, for a time machine. Although skeptical at first, Tom used the plans to improve his cyclotron, and discovered that it actually is a time machine. He had many adventures through time and space with Peggy. They met many legendary figures of the past, including Nostredamus, King Arthur, Anne Bonny and King Midas, among others. They traveled to prehisoric times, to the planet Venus, and witnessed the sinking of Atlantis.
