Not a great episode or one of the more memorable but still a charming and very likable piece of TZ. A story about priorities, friendship, and self-control. Ace (Dane Clark) dreams of making money through gambling and sees his opportunity in his friend Jimbo's (Buddy Ebsen) strange power of telekinesis. Ace wants to make money to get married to Kitty (Christine White, who played the wife in 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet') but displays an unhealthy addictive nature towards gambling.
There's a lightness about this one that contrasts with the much darker toned Las Vegas gambling story of series one, 'The Fever'. Buddy Ebsen is very good as the wise but humble Jimbo. An episode like this illustrates the essentially human orientation of TZ, rather than merely sci-fi/thriller/Gothic yarns.
