The former bus driver Julius Moomer is an aspirant television writer without any talent. He is insistent with the agent Mr. Hugo to have a chance and he gives a couple of days to Julius to write about black magic. Julius goes to a book shop to look for a black magic book and the owner gives one to him. Julius accidentally summons Willian Shakespeare and forces him to write for him. However, when Shakespeare hears and see what is happening to his writing, there is a conflict with Julius.
"The Bard" is an awful episode of "The Twilight Zone". The plot is annoying, boring and unfunny, and the histrionic Jack Weston is irritating. The intention of the writer could have been how talentless people works in television, or how the sponsors affect the final work, but indeed the plot and the story are awful. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "O Poeta" ("The Poet")
