Sinopsis: El editor de un pequeño periódico está al borde de la desesperación. Su diario está en bancarrota, sus empleados han ido dimitiendo uno por uno, y su sueño parece hecho añicos. Pero una noche un extraño personaje llamado Mr. Smith acude en su ayuda. No sólo es un excelente linotipista, sino un reportero con un olfato impresionante. De hecho, tiene redactadas e imprimidas las noticias apenas minutos después de que los acontecimientos sucedan... pero su inestimable ayuda no será gratis.
Frases destacadas:
Opening Narration: Take away a man's dream, fill him with whiskey and despair, send him to a lonely bridge, let him stand there all by himself looking down at the black water, and try to imagine the thoughts that are in his mind. You can't, I can't. But there's someone who can—and that someone is seated next to Douglas Winter right now. The car is headed back toward town, but its real destination is the Twilight Zone.
Closing Narration: Exit the infernal machine, and with it his satanic majesty, Lucifer Prince of Darkness, otherwise known as Mr. Smith. He's gone, but not for good, that wouldn't be like him. He's gone for bad. And he might be back, with another ticket to the Twilight Zone.
