Summary

Astronauts Fox and Drummond are on a mission in outer space to test a new sort of man-like android. When the communication to their base is cut off for a while the two men get more and more suspicious and agressive towards each other. Too late they realize that the tension between them is created by the android, so the story ends in disaster. When the communication is re-established both men are dead and we find out that the conflict between them was part of the test as well.

Comment

Unfortunately we have only seen a Spanish dubbed version of the short feature, so it's very hard to get the subtle details of the story and it's also impossible to say something about Gary's acting as his 'Spanish voice' takes away a lot of the original vibe.
