The film stars Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, and Alan Young.

On January 5, 1900, four friends arrive for a dinner at the house of H. George Wells Rod Taylor, an inventor. Their host is late and his housekeeper, Mrs. Watchet, has served dinner in his absence. Bedraggled and exhausted, George staggers in. He takes brief refreshment and begins to describe the strange experiences he has had since the last time the group met.At the earlier dinner, on December 31, 1899, George describes time as the fourth dimension to David Filby Alan Young, Dr. Philip Hillyer Sebastian Cabot, Anthony Bridewell Tom Helmore and Walter Kemp Whit Bissell. He shows them an intricate little machine which he describes as a model of a larger one he is constructing to enable a person to travel in time. He places a guests cigar in the miniature seat on the model and asks the guest to press a crystalline lever. The device disappears, apparently validating Georges claim. His friends remain unconvinced, their reactions varying from curiosity to skepticism to frank dismissal. ........
