In the last episode hardly point out as science fiction as planned before, the earthlings are caught by a giant scientist Melzac (Albert Salmi) on double role with his twin brother Brik that possible was in another continent on giant planet, the same premise in second season episode "Land of the Lost" when ours heroes crossing the giant sea by ballon.

This turn Captain Burton, Dan, Valerie and Fitzhugh are transported by an small airplane that was driven by remote control and the advanced complex center computer, it somehow steer the airplane into overseas until the land self-called graveyard of fools, in a remote side of the giant planet where anybody returns, seems implausible at first glance due Brik is there in a cave where both bros find out an proto alien powerful device designated servo-actuator that was left there maybe thousand years by an advanced alien civilization, nevertheless the own device has a glitch, due the size of device just the little people can fix inside on narrow space.

Meanwhile at Giant city Mark and Betty try sabotage the electric panel aiming for collapse the energy attempting to making damages in the complex to avoid the airplane take off, sad he fails and aftermaths captured by Melzac and put in a triangle force field in order to don't intervene in the operation, in the meantime Betty in outside try helping Mark set free from there, back on graveyard of fools its have many tombs at foggy forest including Captain Burton tombstone and Fitzhugh as well, just for a beak offering.

At alien device Brik demands Capt. Burton assemble a suppose missing piece that will fix the flaw that hinder the perfect operation, after that such twin brother can rule the giant world to their own liking, however something goes wrong and all them must get out of there due the servo-actuator is getting too hot and potentially going blast soon.

The last time of earthlings there is sorrowful faced for me, in my childhood I used to play this show at my grandfather backyard, together my little friends we built a wooden spaceship with scarce materials, as lamps, hand control using an old iron pump, to cover the roof we used a zinc sheet, the seats were made by useless wooden planks, it's was recorded at my own drawings, already that such improvised Spindrift in no longer exist, however the place was there still empty, maybe when I'll be retired I'll be able to make something better!!

Thanks for reading.
