Who hasn’t heard of the exploits of the brilliant William Shutt and his Shutt company?! And so, the adventures continue. In the end, unfortunate Zenobians get not one Captain Shutt, but two at once! No one knows where they come from, but on the planet a bio-robot appears as well—a complete copy of the brave Captain Shutt. Only Willard Shutt himself knows which of them is real and which is a copy…
