Perchance to Dream
Shown 27 Nov 59
A man goes to a doctor.
No, he is not the great clown Pagliachi.
Instead, he tells the doctor about his nightmares.
First he became paranoid that he would be attacked
by someone hiding in the back seat of his car.
Yes, this trope long pre-dates
Assault on Precinct 13
. Later, the nightmares became about a funfair.
The patient met Maya the cat-girl (
Suzanne Lloyd
), a femme fatale who seemed intent on giving the patient a heart attack.
With his pre-existing medical condition,
if he dies in a dream he will die in reality.
The twist seems inspired by the old
Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge story by Ambrose Bierce.
It is a bit of a non-sequitor,
but this show was all about the shock value
rather than making a good consistent story.

Third From the Sun
Shown 08 Jan 60
A couple of Government employees are scared at the impending threat of nuclear war.
Luckily, they work for the military-industrial complex
so they have access to next-generation technology.
They steal a flying saucer, and set off to colonise outer space -
a bit like an unofficial Space Family Robinson from
Lost In Space
.
Their mistake is in assuming the grass is greener elsewhere.
After all, they intend to visit a planet
where the people are very similar to themselves,
even down to the language they speak.

The Big Tall Wish
Shown 08 Apr 60
Aging boxer Bolie Johnson fights his last big match.
His neighbour, a six-year-old boy,
casts him a magical wish that he will win.
And when things get bad, it seems the wish comes true.
Unfortunately, the wish only works if you believe in it ...
and Bolie is too old to believe in magic.
This means the story is a bit like the
Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge story by Ambrose Bierce.
However, what is nice about it is the majority-black cast -
a new thing in the year it was shot.
