Paul Driscoll doesn't much like the way the 20th century has developed thus far and decides to go back in time to change mankind's future. He first travels to Hiroshima and tries to warn an English-speaking policeman of what is to come, but to no avail. He then travels to Nazi Germany and attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler but is thwarted when his rifle misfires. He then finds himself aboard the Lusitania but again is unable to convince the ship's captain to alter course before it is torpedoed. When he returns to the present, he agrees with his colleague Harvey that the past cannot be changed. He still doesn't like the present and so decides to back to July 1881 and live his life in the small town of Homeville, Indiana. Unfortunately he learns yet again that past events cannot be changed.

Synopsis
Paul Driscoll travels back in time to World War II Japan, Germany during the rise of Hitler, and the RMS Lusitania in order to avert or mitigate the disasters associated with each place at that time in history. He is absolutely convinced that, armed with his knowledge of history and the horrors of war, he can convince the people of each period that he visits to seek a different course of action.
Failing that, he uses his time machine to travel back to July 1, 1881 where he hopes to live out a simple life in the quaint, friendly town of Homeville, Indiana without fear of nuclear bombs and the other perils of life that he knows in 1963.
Apropos of current events in 2007, Driscoll gives an impassioned speech over the dinner table about the nature of war, national pride, and military might. Watch for it.
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
Paul Driscoll's friend Harvey, who assists Paul by operating the time machine controls, reminds Paul that "history is inviolate" try as he might to change it. Paul finds this out first-hand when he seeks to avert a fire in the school of his adopted town, but instead sets into motion the events that cause the fire. Once he realizes that disaster can strike anywhere, any time,
