Synopsis

In 1880, Caswell is about to be hanged for murdering a man. But when the noose tightens around his neck, he suddenly appears in the modern lab of Professor Manion. Manion explains that he used his time machine to randomly pluck Caswell from the past. But when Manion sees Caswell’s rope burns around his neck, he attempts to send him back. The two men get into a fight, and Caswell ends up hitting Manion over the head with a heavy lamp. Caswell then tries to escape out onto a busy street, but becomes so overwhelmed by the lights and the noise that he returns back to the lab. Seeking the scientist’s aid, he realizes that his blow has killed Manion. Then, a thief, Johnson breaks into the lab. Caswell tries to wrestle Johnson’s gun from him, but Johnson ends up strangling Caswell. As Johnson tries to break into Manion’s safe, he accidentally activates the time machine—and is sent back to 1880, appearing in the noose intended for Caswell.

Trivia

• In the Twilight Zone episode Back There, Russell Johnson portrays a man who travels through time in an attempt to stop the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
