Instead of marrying trustworthy Robert Blake (Robert Hogan), as her parents would like, 18-year-old Anne Henderson (Diana Hyland) runs off with her childhood sweetheart David Mitchell, and spends the rest of her life regretting it, so much so that her future self tries to go back in time and warn her.
Rather stupidly, 43-year-old Anne dresses like a scary witch, and chases after her younger self on a black horse screeching 'Anne' threateningly at the top of her voice, which unsurprisingly scares young Anne away. Had she dressed normally and approached her 18-year-old self calmly, she might have managed to change events.
Thus, this is one of the weaker episodes of The Twilight Zone, a fundamentally flawed tale that offers a smattering of intrigue, but little in the way of a satisfying resolution.
