Invaders From the Fifth Dimension EPISODE SYNOPSIS: A spaceship from another galaxy lands on the planet. One of its necessary computers has worn out & it cannot get back to its own star system without a replacement. A human brain will do to replace the missing part, the aliens tell Smith, who discovers them. They will take him, shrinking his body to fit into the required space. Smith terrified, offers them Will in his place, as being a better fit. He cons the boy into going along with him to the spaceship, telling him he has a plan by which, together, they will save the others.
