Plot Summary

A man finds himself walking down a country road, not knowing who, nor where he is. He comes across a diner with a jukebox blaring and hot coffee on the stove - only no one's there. A little further down the road, he comes to the picturesque town of Oakwood, and finds it, too, seems deserted. The only sounds he hears are a clock tower and a pay phone ringing. At the local movie theater, an ad for Battle Hymn (1957) leads him to believe he's in the Air Force. In spite of no people to be found, he can't shake off the feeling that he's being watched.

Trivia Although this was the first aired episode of The Twilight Zone (1959), it is not the first one written. Rod Serling wrote an episode called "The Happy Place", which was rejected because of its subject matter (a society where people were executed when they turned 60), which was considered too depressing.

Quotes Air Force General: You see, we can feed the stomach with concentrates. We can supply microfilm for reading, recreation - even movies of a sort. We can pump oxygen in and waste material out. But there's one thing we can't simulate that's a very basic need. Man's hunger for companionship. The barrier of loneliness - that's one thing we haven't licked yet.
