Dr. Mid-Nite finds himself in a world where germs are the lords of creation and he saves a man they plan to save for future study. The humans there convince Mid-Nite that his former life is all a dream, but he uses his scientific ability to try and fight the Germ People. He develops a noxious gas to use on the Germ People, but it fails to work, and he is convinced the other humans are right. But his instinct to fight remains strong and he battles them with his fists until one of the Germ People with the plague enters, blaming it on Mid-Nite. He is then convinced that he is a living sickness.
