Richard Erdman acquires a stop watch that, when clicked once, stops time -- except for Erdman himself, who is free to do whatever he likes while everything else, even the goldfish, are immobilized.
It's a kind of remake of "Time Enough At Last," the one in which Burgess Meredith is the only man left alive and intends to devote his life to reading books, except that he accidentally breaks his glasses.
Yet, though it recycles an older idea, it's an enjoyable episode. Erdman is a playful character, the kind who halts time in order to stride into his boss's office at the bank and plant a huge daisy in the poor guy's collar. The ending seems desperate but not tragic.
