This Twilight Zone episode is almost two separate stories with the same protagonist Dana Andrews who with scientific colleague Robert F. Simon is
experimenting with time travel. Simon operates the controls and Andrews does the traveling.
In the first half the plans are big, to prevent three catastrophes of world history. He fails in all three.
The second half hour has Andrews moving to a sleepy backwater town in Indiana of 1881. He meets and falls in love with Patricia Breslin a schoolteacher who senses something odd with him. And he has a more local catastrophe to deal with.
Some interesting questions about time travel are asked and answered. Do we really want to experiment like this? Can we really be effective?
Time itself is gazillions of stories from the beginning of it. Change one and you have a ripple effect over the years. Only the Creator/Deity can navigate those waters safely.
An episode that will make you think.
