This "Twilight Zone" episode from 1960 called "Nick of Time" is one that's interesting and filled with a little drama and suspense plus it features the work of a young William Shatner(however his classic later episode of the series "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" would become better known and respected). The story is pretty simple Shatner and Pat Breslin play a newly married couple Don and Pat Carter who have car trouble and break down on their way to New York, as during their breakdown in a small Ohio town they visit a local diner for lunch. It's during this time that a small fortune telling device at their eating table which features a devil face predicts events as they ask questions by putting a penny in each time! It's like an addiction as they are hooked selling their soul to the devil! As they rely on this small device to make choices and decisions about their futures! Only as with anything in life thoughts and mind sets boil down to chance, choices, and luck. As the episode closes out they decide to venture out and see what life really holds for them without depending on a machine device! Because life is about chance, and happenings of luck, choice, and decision making. Overall well done episode that challenges one to live life for what it's worth.
