Spoilers ahead
Tony, Johnny Desmond, is flying Catherine, Deborah Walley, who is in labor, and her husband Mark, Michael Cole, to a local city when a storm forces their small aircraft to land near a remote town. Catherine is rushed to a local doctor, who delivers her baby safely. The town is an unusual blend of architectural styles and levels of technology, and its residents move as if drugged. There is no wind or rain in the air, yet Tony’s plane mysteriously goes missing.
Mark and Tony discover a throne-like seat inside a building. When Tony sits in the seat, he begins to behave like the townspeople. Mark locates him after some time and knocks him out; when Tony wakes, he is back to his usual self.
