Description
An alien conqueror is set a task by his king to visit planet Earth and capture three humans and make them slaves. The king feels his general may be a coward since he was given orders to attack Earth but Earth was spared because "there were so many targets I simply overlooked it." The general accepts the task as a simple one and departs for Earth. When he lands he approaches a house where he spies three figures through a window and hits them with stun rays. Bringing them back to the king he attempts to make them cringe by threatening them with death to no avail. The king is outraged and has the general executed. As for Earth, "We shall never invade them, for their will is too resolute." The three figures the general paralyzed with the stun ray were statues, for the alien had never seen a live human before.
