Synopsis
Joey Crown, a trumpet player who is also an alcoholic, throws himself in front of a truck after he sells off his beloved trumpet to a pawn shop. He enters a realm between life and death and meets a trumpet-playing angel named Gabe. Thanks to some timely advice from Gabe, Joey makes the decision to go back to the living.Trivia
- To accomplish the scene where Joey Crown looks into a mirror and sees that he casts no reflection, two identical sets were built separated by clear glass where the "mirror" was supposed to be and the ticket takers were played by identical twins.
- Despite Crown having no reflection in the mirror, a reflection of him is clearly visible in the glass of the ticket booth.
- The sign above the scaffolding where much of this episode takes place says “HOUGHTON” in honor of Buck Houghton who produced the first three seasons of The Twilight Zone.
