When a spacecraft lands and a creature emerges, two scientists are at odds with each other on what to do with the being. One thinks it is a threat and should be destroyed but the other stops his attack and helps the creature back to his ship where the two of them blast off. The irony is provided by the fact that the creature is, indeed, hostile.
