Whatever else pleased Irwin Allen was their writers, how they would exploit the already applied props in another show ongoing, saving his precious money on tight budge, thus the Pod used in LIS is back in this episode, sadly without any amendment at sight, in other hand they gathered a fully town people that weren't usually on previous episodes.

Stepping on the city they are arrested by angry villagers, the Ranger puts them at jail until reach the judge, somehow they running away and are cornered at Time Capsule, Mark on the radio contact instructs Steve to push a switch on dashboard that allowed the time still for fifteen minutes, meanwhile Steve is looking for the ignition key at Ranger's pocket, Fitzhugh surreptitiously is at bank robbing the large amount of money with his usual mannerism and got a getaway, Steve reach in time to avoid his escape at old car, leaving there all money on the ground for Fitzhugh's dispair, he wants stay there.
Back to Land of the Giants Steve has to try landing and ensure be catch by giants, well this odd episode despite be utterly unbelievable at least is amusing on Fitzhugh's dodge behavior, it's display a slice of his human nature, in this episode Betty is totally absent, also Mark read a Time Capsule's instruction manual in an advanced English language, the smart writer William Welch put it on purpose, which lays out an alleged Earthling's future device!!
