"Street scene: Summer. The present. Man on a sidewalk named Lew Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Lew Bookman, a fixture of the summer, a rather minor component to a hot July, a nondescript, commonplace little man whose life is a treadmill built out of sidewalks. And in just a moment, Lew Bookman will have to concern himself with survival--because as of three o'clock this hot July afternoon he'll be stalked by Mr. Death."

"Lewis J. Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Formerly a fixture of the summer, formerly a minor component to a hot July.

~Mr. Denton On Doomsday~

Air date: 10/16/59
Written by: Rod Serling

"Portrait of a town drunk named Al Denton. This is a man who's begun his dying early--a long, agonizing route through a maze of bottles. Al Denton, who would probably give an arm or a part of his soul to have another chance, to be able to rise up and shake the dirt from his body and the bad dreams that infest his consciousness. [Shot of Henry J. Fate] In the parlance of the times, this is a peddler, a rather fanciful-looking little man in a black frock coat. [A six-gun materializes beside Denton.] And this is the third principal character of our story. Its function: perhaps to give Mr. Al Denton his second chance."

"Mr. Henry Fate, dealer in utensils and pots and pans, lini,emts and potions. A fanciful little man in a black frock coat who can help a man climbing out of a pit--or another man from falling into one. Because, you see, Fate can work that way...in the Twilight Zone."

~The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine~

Air date: 10/23/59
Written by: Rod Serling

"Picture of a woman looking at a picture. Movie great of another time, once brilliant star in a firmament no longer a part of the sky, eclipsed by the movement of earth and time. Barbara Jean Trenton, whose world is a projection room, whose dreams are made out of celluloid. Barbara Jean Trenton, struck down by hit-and-run years and lying on the unhappy pavement, trying desperately to get the license number of fleeting fame."

Danny Weiss.........Martin Balsam

Sally.................Alice Frost
Jerry Hearndan.......Jerome Cowan
Hearndan in film......John Clarke

"To the wishes that come true, to the strange, mystic strength of the human animal, who can take a wishful dream and give it a dimension of it's own. To Barbara Jean Trenton, movie queen of another era, who has changed the blank tomb of an empty projection screen into a private world. It can happen--in the Twilight Zone."

Air date: 10/30/59
Written by: Rod Serling

"Martin Sloan, age thirty-six. Occupation: vice-president, ad agency, in charge of media. This is not just a Sunday drive for Martin Sloan. He perhaps doesn't know it at the time--but it's an exodus. Somewhere up the road he's looking for sanity. And somewhere up the road, he'll find something else."

Mr. Wilson..............Pat O'Malley
Mr. Wolcox................Bill Erwin
Teenager.................Buzz Martin
Woman...................Nan Peterson
Attendant..........Sheridan Comerate

"Martin Sloan, age thirty-six, vice-president in charge of media. Successful in most things, but not in the one effort that all men try at one time in their lives--trying to go home again. And also like all men perhaps there'll be an occasion--maybe a summer night sometime--when he'll look up from what he's doing and listen to the distant music of a calliope, and hear the voices and the laughter of his past. And perhaps across his mind there'll flit a little errant wish, that a man might not have to become old, never outgrow the parks and the merry-go-rounds of his youth. And he'll smile then too because he'll know it is just an errant wish, some wisp of memory not too important really, some laughing ghosts that cross a man's mind--that are a part of the Twilight Zone."

~Escape Clause~

Air date: 11/6/59
Written by: Rod Serling

"You're about to meet a hypochondriac. Witness Mr. Walter Bedeker, age forty-four, afraid of the following: death, disease, other people, germs, drafts and everything else. He has one interest in life, and that's Walter Bedeker. One preoccupation: the life and well-being of Walter Bedeker. One abiding concern about society: that if Walter Bedeker should die, how will it survive without him?"

Cast:

Walter Bedeker.........David Wayne
Mr. Cadwallader.......Thomas Gomez
Ethel Bedeker...Virginia Christine
Adjuster #1............Dick Wilson
Adjuster #2..............Joe Flynn
Judge................George Baxter
Doctor..............Raymond Bailey
Cooper..............Wendell Holmes
Guard.................Nesdon Booth
Subway guard...........Allan Lurie
Janitor..............Paul E. Burns

"There's a saying, 'Every man is put on Earth condemned to die, time and method of execution unknown.' Perhaps this is as it should be. Case in point: Walter Bedeker, lately deceased, a little man with such a yen to live. Beaten by the Devil, by his own boredom--and by the scheme of things in this, the Twilight Zone."

~The Lonely~

Air date: 11/13/59
Written by: Rod Serling

"Witness if you will a dungeon, made out of mountains, salt flats and sand that stretch to infinity. The dungeon has an inmate: James A. Corry. And this is his residence: a metal shack. An old touring car that squats in the sun and goes nowhere--for there is nowhere to go. For the record let it be known that James A.Corry is a convicted criminal placed in solitary confinement. Confinement in this case stretches as far as the eye can see, because this particular dungeon is on an asteroid nine million miles from Earth. Now witness if you will a man's mind and body shrivelling in the sun, a man dying of lonliness."

Cast:

James A. Corry....Jack Warden
Alicia.............Jean Marsh
Capt. Allenby.....John Dehner
Adams..............Ted Knight
Carstairs........James Turley

"On a microscopic piece of sand that floats through space is a fragment of a man's life. Left to rust is the place he lived in and the machines he used. Without use, they will disintegrate from the wind and the sand and the years that act upon them; all of Mr. Corry's machines--including thone made in his image, kept alive by love, but now obsolete...in the Twilight Zone."

~Time Enough At Last~

Air date: 11/20/59
Written by: Rod Serling

"Witness Mr. Henry Bemis, a charter member in the fraternity of dreamers. A bookish little man whose passion is the printed page but who is conspired against by a bank president and a wife and a world full of tongue-cluckers and the unrelenting hands of the clock. But in just a moment Mr. Bemis will enter a world without bank presidents or wives or clocks or anything else. He'll have a world all to himself--without anyone."

Cast:

Henry Bemis.....Burgess Meredith
Mr. Carsville......Vaughn Taylor
Helen Bemis.....Jacqueline deWit
Woman in black........Lela Bliss

"The best laid plans of mice and men--and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis...in the Twilight Zone."
