Plot Summary

Don and Pat Carter are on their honeymoon when their car breaks down in the small town of Ridgeview, Ohio. They have a few hours to spare while their car is being repaired and spend time in the diner. There they find a fortune-telling machine, a game where you can ask a question and for a penny will spit out an innocuous answer. When the machine apparently begins to predict events - Don's promotion at work, a near accident on the street outside - a superstitious Don becomes infatuated with the device threatening his marriage and his future with Pat.

Trivia Richard Matheson was so impressed with Patricia Breslin's portrayal of the William Shatner character's wife, that he lobbied for her to be given a similar role in Shatner's second (and last) "TZ" outing, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1963). This did not happen. See more »
Goofs Just after the 3 o'clock car incident, Don returns to the diner. As he sits at the counter his wristwatch reads ten minutes to two. Then, when He moves to the booth his watch says 9:20 while the diner clock says 3:15. See more »

Quotes Pat Carter: It doesn't matter whether it can foretell the future. What matters is whether you believe more in luck and in fortune than you do in yourself. You can decide your own life. You have a mind, a wonderful mind. Don't destroy it trying to justify that cheap penny fortune machine to yourself. We can have a wonderful life together... if we make it wonderful ourselves. I don't want to know what's going to happen. I want us to make it happen together.
