After several hours, radio contact is lost and Eagle Six fails to return on schedule. Flight telemetry shows all ship's systems operating normally, and a worried
John Koenig orders it flown back to
Moonbase Alpha by remote control. He,
Victor Bergman and
Helena Russell go to meet the mystery vessel. They can find no one aboard...until Helena spies a primitive stone axe and a hairy hand nearly hidden behind a seat in the passenger module.
A closer look reveals the sole occupant—the dead body of a
Stone-Age man. While the bizarre corpse is taken to Medical for a post mortem, Koenig plans a rescue mission. He will lead a search party on the ground, while
Alan Carter will overfly the area in Eagle Two in a search pattern centred on the initial landing site.

will accompany him to make a detailed photographic scan. Left in command of Alpha, Bergman watches the rescue ships depart. With just three days remaining before the Moon travels out of range, he admits the disappearances could seriously affect their chance of colonising Retha.
Eagle One sets down at the first expedition's landing site, a clearing in a sub-tropical forest. As Carter begins the aerial search, he notes a few pockets of mist through breaks in the forest canopy, but no sign of people—Alphan or otherwise. While the support team reconnoitres the immediate area, Koenig and Helena drive off in a Moon buggy, following a series of trail-markers left by the reconnaissance party. Entering the forest, they leave the vehicle and continue on foot. At a swampy

jealous. Signing off, he follows the markers, but veers from the designated trail to take a short-cut through tall grass—and falls head-first into a camouflaged pit. When Sandra tries to call again, she receives no answer. Nervous, she contacts Alpha. Morrow consoles her with the news that Bergman is flying down to lead a new search mission.
Carter comes to. Trapped at the bottom of a ten-foot-deep pit, he begins to dig hand- and foot-holds into the soft clay walls. His work is interrupted by the three cavemen. Their spear-carrying leader leaps on Carter like a wild animal. In the ensuing brawl, the astronaut is beaten senseless. As the caveman raises his spear to finish him off, he is startled by the buzzing

of Carter's commlock. Fumbling with the device, the spear-man is intrigued by Sandra's image on the tiny TV monitor. Getting no response, she stops calling—her sudden 'absence' angering the spear-man. Using a tree trunk lowered by his comrades, he clambers out of the pit and shambles off toward the Eagles.
Ten minutes out from Retha, Bergman calls Sandra from Eagle Three. After laying out a meal, she opens the hatch to observe their arrival—and is surprised to find the spear-man waiting outside. He darts inside and, after a struggle, Sandra is carried off by her savage assailant. During this, Carter regains consciousness and climbs out of the pit using the trunk left by the cavemen. He makes for the landing site as Eagle Three sets down. When Bergman and Kano enter Eagle Two, they find only their lunch waiting for them.
Sandra and her captor arrive at the caves that house a small tribe of Stone-Age people. As the curious adults (there are no children) crowd around her, she attracts the attention of the caveman chief. After a brief scuffle with the spear-man, the chief claims Sandra for himself and drags her into his private lair, followed by his protesting mate. When they lean in close to observe her, Sandra shrieks, convinced she has gone mad. Despite their weather-beaten faces, rotten teeth and unkempt hair, the chief and his cave-wife are dead ringers for Koenig and Helena.
That night, the spear-man steals across the cave to see Sandra. He presents her with a

skin, which she refuses. His offer becomes more vigorous and, in his attempt to make her to wear the skin, he tears off her uniform tunic. Her screams wake the chief, who charges out to do battle with the presumptuous spear-man. A vicious struggle ends with the chief lifting the spear-man over his head and hurling him into the fire pit.

The chief finds Sandra has fashioned the pelt into a serviceable garment. He stalks her with amorous intent, but is distracted by the shiny medical monitor on her wrist. She takes this opportunity to bash him in the head with a rock and slip away into the night. The cave-wife, sensing something amiss, finds her mate alone, battered and insensate. Wailing, she gestures with Sandra's tunic—stained with his blood—and sends the men out to hunt down the escapee.
Morning finds Bergman and party searching the forest for Sandra and the others. As they approach the mystery ravine, Carter grabs the moon buggy's control stick from Kano and swerves just before they enter the wall of mist. He reckons ''it'' must be involved in the disappearances. Everyone has passed this way, entered the mist and vanished. They opt to go around; on the other side, they come across the cave and hear a moaning

ritual. As the women hide, the chief clumsily charges at the intruders. Bergman, too, is struck by the uncanny resemblance the wounded chief bears to the missing Koenig. As Carter prepares to shoot the savage, Bergman forces the astronaut's gun-arm upward and the laser blast goes wild. Startled by the pyrotechnics, the chief runs off. When Carter finds Sandra's tunic—stained with blood, he goes ballistic. Gun drawn, he vows to search the entire network of caves for her—and God help the savages if she has been harmed.
Bergman and Kano take off after the chief, the professor convinced the resemblance is more than a coincidence. Tracks lead into the ravine and the men go round each way. Meeting up on the other side, they are shocked to find Koenig, sporting an ugly head

Koenig and a rescue party barge in, collect Sandra and Carter, and quickly withdraw. Led by the shrieking cave-wife, the cavemen pursue. Consumed by blood-lust, they are easily decoyed to the mysterious ravine, where Koenig and Bergman have prepared an ambush. Knowing the answer must lie within the mist, they fire repeated near-misses at the cave-people to drive them into it. The cave-wife is the last to enter. As the vapour engulfs her, she peers at Koenig with recognition and utters her first intelligible word—''John.'' Going round to the other side, Koenig watches as restored Alphans, led by Helena, emerge from the mist.
Back on Alpha, all those affected are given a full medical work-up. The results show no after effects from their experience on Retha. Bergman speculates the ravine was the nexus of a
