Synopsis

Ejvan tells his people that they should not have so many robots and is shouted down. Unable to convince his people he builds a giant spaceship. The robots rise up as feared and Ejvan leads his people off their planet. They approach Earth full of misgivings in case they are met with violence. They land, step out on to the ground and are surrounded by tanks and other weapons. They wait for the weapons to fire and then Ejvan's child toddles forward carrying a rag doll. A little Earth child comes forward and they start to play together. The tension is gone and they find welcome on Earth.
