Peaceful Valley While returning home in Albuquerque through a secondary road, the reporter Philip Redfield gets lost and short of gas. He finds the small town of Peaceful Valley and stops in a gas station for fuel and in a restaurant for food. His dog Rollie pursues a cat and the girl who owns the cat points a strange device to the dog and it vanishes. However, her father brings Rollie back and Philip decides to leave the town. But he hits and invisible barrier and his car is completely damaged and Rollie is dead. Four locals arrive and bring him and Rollie alive back to the town to meet the Major Dorn and the two-men council. Dorn tells a secret to Philip and offers two choices to him: stay with them forever or die.

"Valley of the Shadow" is a great episode of "The Twilight Zone", with an excellent plot and acting. It is great to see James "Scotty" Doohan even in a small role, and the gorgeous Natalie Trundy in the role of the hotel and restaurant owner. The plot shows how mankind is not prepared for a deep knowledge when Philip choses a weapon among all the possibilities he had. The conclusion is also excellent. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Vale da Sombra" ("Valley of the Shadow")
