Plot Summary

In a dusty old-western town, a man is scheduled to be hanged after having been found guilty of accidentally killing a child while drunk. His father begs for mercy, but the marshal has no choice but to proceed with the sentence. Sykes, an odious salesman, takes advantage of the situation by selling the desperate father "magic dust," which he says will make the townsfolk take pity on his son. Soon though, events provide for an unexpected conclusion. Written by garykmcd

Quotes [closing narration]
Narrator: It was a very small, misery-laden village on the day of a hanging, and of little historical consequence. And if there's any moral to it at all, let's say that in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human heart, for inside this deep place is a wizardry that costs far more than a few pieces of gold. Tonight's case in point - in the Twilight Zone.
