Plot Summary

Grady is a champion jockey who has recently been banned from the sport owing to his participation in race fixing and the drugging of horses. He claims he is innocent and currently has an appeal with the racing commission but his agent isn't hopeful. Suddenly, Grady begins hearing a voice - his own as it turns out, speaking to him from his own mind. As Grady rages over the unfairness of it all, he is granted his one true wish.

Trivia With exactly one performer appearing--either in image or voice, not counting Rod Serling's routine turn as host--this episode features the smallest cast of any in the series. Close runner-ups include Where Is Everybody? (1959), King Nine Will Not Return (1960), Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room (1960), The Invaders (1961) and Two (1961). See more »
Goofs Towards the end of the show, when Grady starts throwing furniture around his room, he tosses his dresser drawers from his left to his right. When the dresser lands you can see it from the back and see that there are no drawers in it - it is obviously a stage prop and not a real piece of furniture. See more »

Quotes Narrator: [closing narration] The name is Grady, ten feet tall, a slightly distorted offshoot of a good breed of humans who race horses. Unfortunately for Mr. Grady, he learned too late that you don't measure size with a ruler, you don't figure height with a yardstick, and you never judge a man by how tall he looks in a mirror. The giant is as he does. You can make a pari-mutuel bet on this, win, place, or show, in or out of The Twilight Zone.
