Inhaltsangabe: Reporter Bill Everett (Steve McQueen) goes to a bar to interview a man named Howard Wilcox (Arthur Hill), who claims to be a Martian. Wilcox insists quite seriously that he had been imprisoned in an asylum on Mars, but had escaped during the total evacuation of the planet. Landing on Earth, he had assumed an earthling's identity. As he and Everett leave the bar, the reporter advises him to go home and not say a word about this to anyone. Then Everett reports back to his editor, admitting that he'd been forced to kill Wilcox, who had indeed been a Martian, but one who was ignorant of the impending invasion plans. The editor agrees that murder had been Everett's only option, as those plans must be kept a secret at all costs until they and the rest of their Martian kind have completely taken over the world.

Info: This show was one of two Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes starred in by Steve McQueen - the other being "Man From The South".
