The story explores themes of time travel, technology, and survival, revolving around characters from a dystopian future who venture back to the mid-20th century to procure weapons through illicit means. Their plan is complicated by unforeseen dangers and the impact of their technological endeavors on reality. The narrative follows George Dolan, a technician who is approached by mysterious visitors, including the alluring Moirta, to repair a complex time translator. As George becomes embroiled in their dangerous scheme, he discovers that the gun runners are not merely criminals but are entangled in a larger conflict involving time displacement consequences. Through clever manipulation and technical ingenuity, Dolan seeks to turn the tables on his captors while grappling with a growing affection for Moirta.
