Synopsis for "The Mad Scientist"

An old man enters the laboratory of scientist Dr. Mark Ferris carrying a young boy in his arms. The man is aware of Ferris' scientific acumen, specifically his research in suspended animation. He implores Dr. Ferris to use his techniques to cryogenically freeze the boy so that the illness that infects him can be examined and removed. Ferris refuses, citing that he has only experimented on animals, never human beings. Suspecting that the doctor would be difficult, the old man draws a gun and forces Ferris to perform the procedure.

The experiment works and Dr. Ferris is able to isolate the infection thus saving the boy's life. The old man reveals that he is actually Mark Ferris from thirty years in the future. He was unable to perform the work himself because a laboratory fire destroyed his notes over thirty years ago. The young boy is Ferris' son. The old man and his son leave to return to the future just as a fire breaks out in the laboratory.
