Liz (Lisa Harrow) and Rudi (Christian Quadflieg), hostages on the
female-run planet Medusa, are entrusted with the task to catalogue the
planet's museum of abandoned inventions, even if the previous girl
entrusted with the task (Ina Skriver) has gone mad with fear doing so.
Once inside the museum, Liz is cut off from Rudi and confronted with some
robots with an independent will that want to make her one of them. Rudi
and Medusa's security chief Octavia (Christiane KRüger) do their best to
save her, but cannot even reach her before they blow down a certain
sliding door - and the explosion simply kills the robots but saves Liz ... This
episode starts out rather interestingly with quite emphasis put on
atmosphere - but once Liz is confronted with the robots that look like
fancily painted cupboards on wheels, all seriousness, all tension and
suspense is blown out of the window and it becomes an unintentional
comedy. Well, at least it makes you laugh (for all the wrong reasons).
