A story about St. Nicholas. All we know for certain about him, is that he was once Bishop of Myra. The rest is a story of tradition and legend.

Kidnapped by a Space Ship! |
| Synopsis: |
It is June 1970 and space travel has been a reality for the past ten years, but interest has died down since the discovery that no other planet in our solar system can support human life. Dr. Ney has invented a Galaxial Drive that will allow people to travel faster than the speed of light. This will allow travel beyond our solar system and to other galaxies. Tests are done and the ship is completed, but Dr. Ney is not allowed to travel in his own ship. His life is much too valuable to be risked on this first flight. The crew straps down and prepares for takeoff. |
