John McGiver (who looks for all the world like Mr. Weatherby from the Archie comics) plays a loud and bombastic jerk who loves to yell and bother everyone, as he's a self-important guy. Eventually, though, his yelling is punished in a very expected way--no big surprises here, folks.
This is one of the less than wonderful episodes from THE TWILIGHT ZONE television series. Despite some opinions to the contrary, the quality of the episodes of this series varied tremendously--with some classics, some clunkers and a few that are just time-passers. I'd put this one in the category of a time-passer. While it's harmless enough, just watching John McGiver yell and yell and then finally get his comeuppance just isn't enough to justify an entire episode. It's inoffensive but pretty weak all around.
