In 1961 a group of men at a club are arguing, hypothetically, about the effects of time travel and in particular whether it is possible to change the course of history. After leaving the club one of the men is transported back in time to the night of Lincoln's assassination. Can he change history?

Many of The Twilight Zone's episodes were predictable in their twists and conclusions. Not this one. Very clever with a twist that you can't see coming. Also very intelligent in the way it approaches the possible effects of time travel and potentially changing the course of history.

The sort of episode that reminds you how good the series could be and one that makes wading through the more predictable ones worthwhile.
