In the 22nd century, three scientists are hard at work on an escape plan for a dying Earth. The scientists are forced into a kind of intellectual labor camp and discover a series of portals that open up into other dimensions. However, there's a Lovecraftian element to the portals -- in that dangerous creatures exist within the portals. They're also dealing with a fascist government that doesn't understand basic scientific principles.

Poor Scientist #3, who is the more sensible scientist of the three, gets ripped apart by a clawed beast.
