"The most brilliant planet in our solar system is Venus, named for the Greek Love-Goddess...it is still a planet shrouded in mystery, enveloped in a heavy blanket of clouds and steam. Because its surface temperature was believed to be several times that of Earth's, it was not thought possible for Man to reach Venus and come back... until one day, somebody did it." In one of his last TV roles before signing on to "Star Trek," William Shatner stars as astronaut Jeff Barton, the first man to successfully land on Venus. Given a hero's welcome upon his return to Earth, he is determined to win funding for the Venus colonization program, dubbed "Project Vulcan," until suddenly things begin to go wrong...with his body. Heat. He craves heat. More heat than humans can stand. Then his arms grow grotesque scales...and his fingers become webbed...and his blood loses its human properties. But this is just the beginning of the nightmare that he has brought back with him...from The Outer Limits.
