Amos and Sally are driving by a lake when a strangely garbed man jumps up on the running board of their car and drops a package in the back seat. Later, Amos looks at the package, postmarked May 15, 2053, and discovers something called a trans-dimensional transporter inside. Thinking it to be some sort of gadget to soup up his hot-rod, Amos installs the device, traveling into the future. He then plots to kill his wife and travel into the future to establish an alibi.....with unexpected results.
