- While rescuing a stricken space shuttle Ralph becomes hyper-magnetized resulting his being attracted to all things metal.
- The space shuttle is in trouble after retriving an orbiting scoop. Bill (Robert Culp) tells Ralph (William Katt) he needs to rescue the shuttle. He does so, but get electrified in the process. Pam (Connie Sellecca) tells Ralphs to ground himself on train tracks, but he's still magnetic. Pam and Bill worry that removing the suit might kill Ralph, as it's probably protecting him.
The shuttle is taken to an air force base for analysis. One of the men checking the inside finds a mysterious liquid, and is attacked electrically. The lights around the base, including Ralph's hotel, go out. The air force thinks the liquid is an alien protein that holds an electrical charge. Ralph goes invisible and listens to the briefing, where the air force is discussing the tunnel structure the alien can travel in.
A tunnel guard is killed. Bill, Ralph and Pam follow electrical outages, and Ralph keeps interfering with devices around him. Ralph goes into a darkened tunnel and finds the dead guard. Back in a hotel, Ralph almost zaps himself washing his hands. Bill realizes they can get the alien wet and short it out. As they pursue the blackouts, a tentacle is see shorting out another electrical circuit.
Ralph goes into the tunnels and sees the alien via scry. He wanders around and finds another dead workman, then walks right into the alien! Bill and Pam head to the water station while Ralph tries to lead the alien towards it. The sluice gates are opened, and Ralph fights the alien in the tunnel, then pushes it in to the resevoir. Ralph survives, and is no longer magnetized.
