A sexy female nazi pilot later attacks Tom, in the 21st century. She is one of a group of cloned Nazis serving his former wartime lover, an Aryan woman who once rendered Tom unconscious and stole his sperm (the story he may just be using to prove fidelity to his wife). The Nazis send Tom into the distant past, where he faces an evil monster of primordial slime, which hopes to kill him and take his place as an evil shape-shifter before he is sent back to his own time. (Tom is only exiled in time temporarily while a more diabolical death can be devised for him). The plan is merely to expose Tom to a terrible shocking truth.
