A young couple, stealing the only space shuttle on board, escapes the troubled mother ship that belongs to members of a highly advanced civilization. In a quadrant of the universe far away from their home world, they hope to find a livable planet where they could start their own civilization free of protocols and strict regulations. The automated controls of their shuttle, while scanning for signs of life, rule out planet Earth as too dangerous of a place and pick a tiny planet instead in a strange solar system. The humanoid inhabitants of this planet - living in their 'stone age' - look pretty much like the couple. One major difference in their appearance is size: they are about two thirds smaller. Since the shuttle got badly damaged when exiting the mother ship at extremely high speed, continuing the search is not an option. The young man, who proved to be a very capable captain, has a 'great' idea: he will use their 'bio-blaster' weapon to speed up evolution on the planet. "If these creatures become as intelligent as we are", he explains his female partner, "we can live among them safely... In this mini solar system, due to the very short time it takes their planet to circle their sun, about a thousand of their years equal a day in our lives. A few days for us, hundreds of generations for them. Soon, they'll be building spaceships." He sends a 'holo-robot' to the surface to further his plan... The outcome is a disaster: modern technology is killing the planet. No livable planet after all... Just in time, the repaired mother ship finds them. "You'll have to answer a few questions when we get home", the real captain tells the couple, "but at least you'll live", she adds with a smile.
