Office drone Edward Borman is spinning his wheels in a dead-end office job until, one night, his drudgery is interrupted by the appearance of a glowing figure who blasts the janitor with a beam of energy. Borman is close to being zapped, himself, when a mysterious goggled figure appears and shoots it out with the incandescent invader. Borman, caught in the crossfire of a heated battle he doesn't understand, cowers in the corner of a hallway, only to find himself face to face with the alien. Fortunately, he's saved at the last minute by a door kicked down by the second arrival, who removes his goggles to reveal a face entirely human.
