The stuff dreams are made of

Oscar Beregi is the mastermind of a gold heist and Simon Oakland, John Mitchum, and Lew Gallo are the henchman. Beregi is a scientist and the others are your average crooks. They heist a truck carrying a large gold shipment and drive it to a deep cave in Death Valley.

It's Beregi's idea to put the four of them in these chambers of suspended animation and stay there for 100 years. The heat certainly off by that time and they can live like kings. At least that's the theory.

When they wake up and one doesn't, a malfunction Death Valley looks pretty much the same. Deserts never do change much on their own. Did the three left really pull this off.

A nice episode and what a cosmic joke is played on them all.
