Synopsis for "You Can't Find Me"
A convict named Joe Morgan escapes from prison and runs deep into the woods. He suddenly sees a brilliant flash of light, and from it, steps a well-dressed man. The man introduces himself as Groff, and says that he comes from the future. He owns a special ring, that he claims grants him the ability to travel through time. Morgan pulls a gun on Groff and forces him to surrender the ring to him. He then uses the ring to travel to Groff's native time period, satisfied that he has permanently escaped justice. When he arrives in the future, he discovers that Groff himself was a criminal from Uranus, who used the ring to escape justice by traveling backwards into the past. The Uranian authorities capture Morgan and, believing him to be Groff in disguise, send him to prison.
