Story Notes
The Sorcerer and his mansion in the country appears to be a tribute to Dr. Julian Karswell (Niall MacGinnis) from the film Night of the Demon (1957). A woman who used "Pandora's Box" to commit crimes turned up in the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon, "Here Comes Trubble".
Earth Is Off-Limits!
Storyline
Space explorers discover life on a far off planet, but mission control panics at the thought of alien germs loose on Earth and so forbids them to return. The crew asks for chance to explain, but mission control breaks the communication as they cannot bear to listen to their pleas. What the space explorers were trying to say before their communication line was broken was that the life on the planet grants disease immunity and long life span.
