~The Encounter~

Air date: 5/1/64
Written by: Martin M. Goldsmith

"Two men alone in an attic: a young Japanese-American and a seasoned veteran of yesterday's war. It's twenty-odd years since Pearl Harbor, but two ancient opponents are moving into position for a battle in an attic crammed with skeletons--souvenirs, momentoes, old uniforms and rusted medals--ghosts from the dim reaches of the past that will lead us into...the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Fenton.....Neville Brand
Taro........George Takei

"Two men in an attic, locked in mortal embrace. Their common bond and their common enemy: guilt. A disease all too prevalent among men, both in and out of the Twilight Zone."

~Mr. Garrity And The Graves~

Air date: 5/8/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"Introducing Mr. Jared Garrity, a gentleman of commerce, who in the latter half of the nineteenth century plied his trade in the wild and wooly hinterlands of the American West. And Mr. Garrity, if one can believe him, is a resurrecter of the dead--which, on the face of it, certainly sounds like the bull is off the nickel. But to the scoffers amongst you, and you ladies and gentlemen from Missouri, don't laugh this one off entirely, at least until you've seen a sample of Mr. Garrity's wares, and an example of his services. The place is Happiness, Arizona, the time about 1890. And you and I have just entered a saloon where the bar whiskey is brewed, bottled and delivered from the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Jared Garrity..........John Dehner
Gooberman..........J. Pat O'Malley
Jensen...............Stanley Adams
Lapham................Percy Helton
Sheriff Gilchrist...Norman Leavitt
Man................Patrick O'Moore
Lightning Peterson......John Cliff
Ace...................John Mitchum
Zelda Gooberman.......Kate Murtagh

"Exit Mr. Garrity, a would-be charlatan, a make-believe con man and a sad misjudger of his own talents. Respectfully submitted from an empty cemetery on a dark hillside that is one of the slopes leading to the Twilight Zone."

~The Brain Center At Whipple's~

Air date: 5/15/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"These are the players, with or without a scorecard: in one corner, a machine; in the other, one Wallace V. Whipple, man. And the game? It happens to be the historical battle between flesh and steel, between the brain of man and the product of man's brain. We don't make book on this one, and predict no winner, but we can tell you that for this particular contest there's standing room only--in the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Wallace Whipple.....Richard Deacon
Hanley.................Paul Newlan
Dickerson............Ted de Corsia
Technician............Jack Crowder
Watchman...............Burt Conroy
Bartender...........Shawn Michaels
Robot..................Dion Hansen

"There are many bromides applicable here--too much of a good thing, tiger by the tail, as you sow so shall ye reap. The point is that too aften man becomes clever instead of becoming wise, he becomes inventive but not thoughtful--and sometimes, as in the case of Mr. Whipple, he can create himself right out of existence. Tonight's tale of oddness and obsolescene from the Twilight Zone."

~Come Wander With Me~

Air date: 5/22/64
Written by: Anthony Wilson

"Mr. Floyd Burney, a gentleman songster in search of song, is about to answer the age-old question of whether a man can be in two places at the same time. As far as his folk song is concerned, we can assure Mr. Burney he'll find everything he's looking for, although the lyrics may not be at all to his liking. But that's sometimes the case--when the words and music are recorded in the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Floyd Burney.......Gary Crosby
Mary Rachel.....Bonnie Beecher
Billy Rayford........John Bolt
Old man.........Hank Patterson

"In retrospect, it may be said of Mr. Floyd Burney that he achieved that final dream of the performer: eternal top-name billing, not on the fleeting billboards of the entertainment world, but forever recorded among the folk songs of the Twilight Zone."

~The Fear~

Air date: 5/29/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown. And there are two characters about to partake of the meal: Miss Charlotte Scott, a fashion editor, and Mr. Robert Franklin, a state trooper. And the third member of the party: the unknown, that has just landed a few hundred yards away. This person or thing is soon to be met. This is a mountain cabin, but it is also a clearing in the shadows known as the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Trooper Robert Franklin.....Mark Richman
Charlotte Scott..............Hazel Court

"Fear, of course, is extremely relative. It depends on who can look down and who must look up. It depends on other vagaries, like the time, the mood, the darkness. But it's been said before, with great validity, that the wort thing there is to fear is fear itself. Tonight's tale of terror and tiny people on the Twilight Zone. "

~The Bewitchin' Pool~

Air date: 6/19/64
Written by: Earl Hamner, Jr.

"A swimming pool not unlike any other pool, a structure built of tile and cement and money, a backyard toy for the affluent, wet entertainment for the well-to-do. But to Jeb and Sport Sharewood, this pool holds mysteries not dreamed of by the building contractor, not guarenteed in any sales brochure. For this pool has a secret exit that leads to a never-neverland, a place designed for junior citizens who need a long voyage away from reality, into the bottomless regions of the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Sport..........Mary Badham
Jeb...........Tim Stafford
Aunt T.....Georgia Simmons
Whitt...........Kim Hector
Gloria........Dee Hartford
Gil............Tod Andrews
Announcer.....Harold Gould

"A brief epilogue for concerned parents. Of course, there isn't any such place as the gingerbread house of Aunt T, and we grownups know there's no door at the bottom of a swimming pool that leads to a secret place. But who can say how real the fantasy world of lonely children can become? For Jeb and Sport Sharewood, the need for love turned fantasy into reality; they found a secret place--in the Twilight Zone."
