Episode 0026 "The Man Who Asked For Yesterday"

Original Story by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

If only I had to do it all over again is a constant cry from the human heart. And the implication is, of course, that if some magical power could grant the plea, how much better things would be handled. Or, at the very least, how differently. But is that a valid concept? Does it follow inevitably that people could or would handle things better a second time around?

The almost always misquoted quote by an obscure poet is the theme of tonight's Spine-Tingler. Backward, turn backward, oh time in thy flight. If you haven't spotted the misquote, I'll clear it up for you later. Concentrate first on the fascinating problem of a man with fatal brain injury who still finds time to talk to himself.

Starring: Mandel Kramer, Paul Hecht, Evie Juster, Ralph Bell, Gilbert Mack
