In this paper it is proved that if a circle-like continuum M cannot be embedded in the plane, then M is not a continuous image of any plane continuum (Theorem 5).

Suppose that (S, ρ) is a metric space. A finite sequence of domains L1, L2, … , Ln is called a linear chain provided Li intersects Lj if and only if |i — j| ⩽ 1. If, in addition, there is a positive number ∊ such that, for each i, the diameter of Li is less than ∊, then the linear chain is called a linear ∊-chain. If for each positive number ∊ the continuum M can be covered by a linear ∊-chain, then M is said to be chainable (or snake-like) (2).
