PLOT:
A man is chased, shot and falls into a river. When the police pull him out, a news photographer takes a picture of him that shows a glowing halo around him. Mike Delaney, a reporter, recognizes the injured man as a renowned scientist from the United States. During an operation to remove the bullet the man dies for 7 and a half seconds. When he is revived he seems to have lost his mind. When the doctor and Delaney try to question him, his answers make no sense. Finally they realize he is answering the questions 7 and a half second seconds before they are asked. He has slipped in time. He doesn't remember much except that he thinks a man named Vasco was responsible for his being shot.
