Editorial Review:
Description
Forty years of war between the Federated Republics and the New Territories Union has taken its toll. In this hostile world of the future, one thing remains constant for Lieutenant Leo Megaw; his love for his pregnant wife. Her access to classified information makes her an increasing liability for the government. When she's ambushed, Leo is forced into exile. As a border patrolman on the isolated outpost of Zone 39, ordered to kill anyone that tries to cross the border, he comes to understand the catastrophies forced upon his world by his own government. The real enemy is not looming across the border but standing right behind him. Leo must reach across the border into enemy territory and form an alliance to save his world before his government catches up to him.

Three single-minded characters receive their comeuppance courtesy of series creator Rod Serling, who penned all of the episodes included in this volume."Mr. Bevis": Good-natured, eccentric Bevis (Orson Bean) is allowed to "do over" a disastrous day by his guardian angel (Henry Jones)--but at the cost of his personality. Bean and Jones are first class, but like all of Serling's comedic efforts ("Mr. Dingle, The Strong"), the humor is badly forced. "Bevis" was originally intended as a pilot, but was scrapped when star Burgess Meredith refused to commit to a series. Serling rewrote the episode as the third season's "Cavendar Is Coming," but it too suffered from a lack of laughs.
"The Silence": Annoyed by the ceaseless chatter of wastrel Jamie Tennyson (Liam Sullivan), Colonel Archie Taylor (Franchot Tone) bets half a million dollars that Tennyson cannot remain silent for one year. However, Taylor is unprepared for the extremes the younger man undergoes in order to win. Reportedly based on a story by Anton Chekhov, "The Silence" is a memorable shocker, with a conclusion worthy of E.C. Comics, and one of the few episodes with no fantasy elements whatsoever.
"On Thursday We Leave for Home": For 30 years William Benteen (James Whitmore) has kept alive a small colony on a barren planet with the hope that a spaceship will arrive to return them to Earth. But when the ship actually arrives, Benteen is unwilling to relinquish his father-protector status. Buoyed by Whitmore's powerful turn, this is the fourth's season's finest moment. --Paul Gaita
Description
Episodes: "Mr. Bevis" (Episode 33, June 3, 1960) - Orson Bean is James B.W. Bevis, a good-natured, accident-prone eccentric whose guardian angel gives him a chance at success. But there's a catch: all the goofiness in his personality has got to go. "The Silence" (Episode 61, April 28, 1961) - Archie Taylor (Franchot Tone) offers incessant talker Jamie Tennyson half a million dollars if he can keep quiet for a year. It's a bet that Tennyson can't resist. "On Thursday We Leave for Home" (Episode 118, May 2, 1963, 50 min.) - William Benteen (James Whitmore) has been the unquestioned leader of a stranded outpost in space for 30 years. But when a rescue ship usurps his power, he tries to force the colonists to remain.
