Name: Mr. Smith of Manchester
Released: 1973-11-24

Devon, Rachel, and Garth find themselves drawn into a dome where the residents are ensnared in a frenzied, industrialized society that is suffocating under its own toxic waste. The dome's purification system is overwhelmed by the frantic pace of life the inhabitants have chosen. At the helm is Mr. Smith, the absolute ruler, who fears losing his power if he dares to suggest a more sustainable way of living. Ultimately, he is dethroned, and the polluting machines fall silent as the trio continues their journey.
