Vault: CLASSIC TV
Performed live every week, with timely themes and interesting guest stars, this innovative 1950s science fiction show was the precursor of later TV hits like THE TWILIGHT ZONE. This episode is basically TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE with a science fiction twist and an ending somewhat reminiscent of the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street". There are few surprises in this story. What makes the episode interesting is the performance of young Leslie Nielsen as Robbie, who is certainly far different from the silver-haired joker we've come to know today!
