Plot

Dr. Thomas Kellander, Director of Neo-Kinematics, is in charge of a machine that will break down matter to electrical waves so it can be transmitted like radio and reassembled at the reception point.

An advanced civilization contacts the U.S. to test both worlds' experimental teleportation systems by exchanging citizens. Fearing the matter transport will fail, the U.S. military selects a prisoner serving a life sentence, not caring over a murderer set loose on Chromos because it's ten light years away; but, in the narrow window when the planets are aligned, will the ex-boxer escape before the exchange is completed?—David Stevens

SPOILER: A prison warden summons three life sentence inmates to be interviewed by Dr. Thomas 'Kelly' Kellander, authorized by the government to seek a volunteer to test a teleportation system to another planet. Chino Rivera accepts the offer and learns that an advanced civilization from planet Chromos has contacted the earthlings and offered the technology for teleportation. They propose an exchange of natives from each planet, and soon Dr. Kellander receives an alien that walks freely about the facility. Dr. Robert Richardson, thereafter, finds a strange goo floating on the nearby lake. He decides to investigate but is murdered by the alien. As Chino tries to escape from the facility, he stumbles upon Dr. Richardson's body and is soon accused of murder. Only Dr. Julia Harrison believes him. What is the real intention of the alien from Chromos?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

A convict (Henry Silva) serving a life sentence for murder is offered a chance to reduce his sentence by taking part in a risky experiment: to allow himself to be teleported to the planet Chromo as part of an alien exchange.
