The Anti-Matter Man

Professor Robinson is caught in a matter transfer emission ray, and subsequently ends up in another dimension where he is confronted by a version of himself and Don.

Return from Outer Space

Lost in Space's only Christmas program. Will uses an alien transporter to send himself back to earth. However, many people believe the Robinson family to be dead after hearing the ship went off course. Nobody on Earth believes him, and they lock him up with the intention of sending him to a boys' home. Will escapes the family home he's in, and wanders around these clueless bunch of townspeople, but finds carbon tetrachoride — needed for the food processors on the Jupiter. Eventually he convinces another boy, Davey, to let him out, and let him return to the planet he came from. He returns to Priplanus with this bottle. Of course no one believes his adventures until he produces the bottle, plainly labeled as coming from Earth.
