Plot Summary

Marsha White is looking for a gold thimble as a gift for her mother. She can't find it anywhere in the store and an elevator operator suggests she try the 9th floor. She arrives there to find it abandoned but a sales clerk suddenly appears and has just what she is looking for. On the way back down to the main floor, she realizes the thimble she bought is scratched and goes to the complaints department where she is told there is no 9th floor in the building. She is shocked however to see a mannequin that looks just like the woman who served her. A return to the absent floor reveals the explanation to her dilemma. Written by garykmcd

Trivia One of four The Twilight Zone (1959) episodes to include an eye, not a spiral, at the introduction. The other three are Mr. Bevis (1960), A World of His Own (1960), and The Mighty Casey (1960). See more »
Goofs The closing narration mentions that Marsha turns human for one month every year. However, only one mannequin turns human every month without repeats and twelve other mannequins are already present when Marsha is welcomed back, so the numbers don't work out. See more »

Quotes Narrator: [Closing Narration] Marsha White in her normal and natural state: a wooden lady with a painted face, who, one month out of the year, takes on the characteristics of someone as normal and as flesh and blood as you and I. But it makes you wonder, doesn't it? Just how normal are we? Just who are the people we nod our hellos to as we pass on the street? A rather good question to ask - particularly in The Twilight Zone.
