It's the 27th century and wood has grown very scarce on planet earth. With the discovery of new and more exotic materials, and presumably an exploding population, forests have been mowed down and replaced by huge structures. Finally, one day, an alert goes out to destroy all things made from wood because it is determined that a deadly gas can be released from the material which will kill all living things near by.
When an alien fleet arrives to take over planet earth (just after all the last bits of wood have been destroyed), the earthlings realize that the deadly gas was a ploy to get them to destroy their remaining wood....the alien ray guns can easily handle the advanced materials, but cannot destroy wood!! But have no fear! A curator at an aviation museum has secretly preserved three old WWI fighter planes made from spruce wood...the old aircraft are retrofitted with new radiation canons and the aliens are defeated!!
Classic mid-century sci-fi!
Until next time...(sooner rather than later)
