ATTACK OF THE MONSTER PLANTS

EPISODE SYNOPSIS: Dr. Robinson and Don have found a small vein of petroleum which they have mined for fuel to blast their spaceship off the planet. Unfortunately, a cyclamen-like plant, which has the power to ingest anything it finds and duplicate an image of it, swallows a can of deutronium hidden by Smith for use as a bargaining factor in case the Robinsons plan to leave him behind. The cyclamen, nourished by this element, starts growing rapidly. It lures Judy close enough to be ingested and turns out a duplicate image of her to steal the rest of the deutronium for its use. Now it grows so big that its tendrils completely envelop the spaceship.
