A Conundrum

A baby girl is mysteriously dropped off at an orphanage in Cleveland in 1945. "Jane" grows up lonely and dejected, not knowing who her parents are, until one day in 1963, she is strangely attracted to a drifter. She falls in love with him, but just when things are looking up for Jane, a series of disasters strikes. First, she becomes pregnant by the drifter, who then disappears. Second, during the complicated delivery, the doctors discover that Jane has both sets of sex organs and, to save her life, they convert "her" into a "him". Finally, a mysterious stranger kidnaps the baby from the delivery room.

Reeling from these disasters, rejected by society, and scorned by fate, he becomes a drunkard and a drifter. Not only has "Jane" lost her parents and her lover, but he has lost his only child as well.Years later, in 1970, he stumbles into a lonely bar called Pop's Place, and spills out his pathetic story to an elderly bartender. The sympathetic bartender offers the drifter the chance to get revenge on the stranger who left her pregnant and abandoned on the condition that he join the Time Traveler Corps. Both of them enter a time machine and the bartender drops the drifter off in 1963. The drifter is strangely attracted to a young orphan girl who becomes pregnant.

The bartender then goes forward 9 months, kidnaps the baby girl from the hospital, and drops the baby off in an orphanage back in 1945. Then the bartender drops off the thoroughly confused drifter in 1985 to enlist in the Time Traveler Corps. The drifter eventually gets his life together and becomes a highly respected and elderly member of the Time Traveler Corps. He then has his most difficult mission. He disguises himself as a bartender and plans a date with destiny: meeting a certain drifter at Pop's Place in 1970.
