    Out of the STEP BEYOND scheme

    For me this tepid episode is more a crime, mystery sceme than an eerie story. Of course there is a bit of fantasy element, but there is also a court sequence, very short, and that's enough to put this tale not in the fantasy category but crime instead. It is not a garbage and totally uninteresting plot, just entretaining enough to keep you in front your TV set. The resolution is not the worst ever, just in the line of what you might more or less expect from this series, that is supposed to be the rip-off of ONE STEP BEYOND, from the early sixties. So, I think you can try it. After all, it's only twenty five minutes long.
