Rod Serling - Narrator : [Closing Narration] Mr. Henry Fate, dealer in utensils and pots and pans, liniments and potions. A fanciful little man in a black, frock coat, who can help a man climbing out of a pit - or another man from falling into one. Because, you see, Fate can work that way - in The Twilight Zone.

Rod Serling - Narrator : [Opening Narration] Portrait of a town drunk named Al Denton. This is a man who's begun his dying early - a long, agonizing route through a maze of bottles. Al Denton, who would probably give an arm or a leg or a part of his soul to have another chance, to be able to rise up and shake the dirt from his body and the bad dreams that infest his consciousness.
[Shot of Henry J. Fate]
Rod Serling - Narrator : [Narration continues] In the parlance of the times, this is a peddler, a rather fanciful-looking little man in a black, frock coat.
[a six-gun materializes beside Denton]
Rod Serling - Narrator : [Narration continues] And this is the third principal character of our story. Its function: perhaps to give Mr. Al Denton his second chance.
