Storyline
Ted Larkin had three goals growing up: he wanted to be first to land on Mars, the first to fly through the sun, and the first to circumnavigate the universe. But hard work only let him watch Edwin Blake, Stanley Adams, and Frederick Tomkins attain his goals. Disillusioned, Ted is mulling his future when he finds a piece of metal with time travel properties and decides to go back in time and beat the other three men to their goals. His better nature prevails, however, and on his time travel jaunts he instead helps the three other men accomplish their feats.
