Synopsis
An old woman is accosted by small intruders that come from a flying saucer that has landed on her house. She battles them for many minutes, finally killing one and following the other back to his ship. There she hears him send off a desperate warning to other potential invaders, after which she destroys the ship with an axe. The side of the ship reads U.S. Air Force.Trivia
The original closing narration for this episode (as it appears in Richard Matheson's teleplay) reads: “This is one of the out-of-the-way places; until now, one of the unvisited places in our solar system—the planet Mars. Bleak. Wasted. Dying. But not quite dead yet.” This is the only episode with only one person and no spoken dialogue at all; this is primarily performed in pantomime, as demonstrated in Agnes Moorehead.Themes
A similar theme is addressed in the episode “People Are Alike All Over”.Reference
