Not surprisingly, you really hate the character played by Albert Salmi. I say this isn't a surprise because he'd already played a murderer in one episode and had a habit of playing scum through the 1960s. Heck, if he'd played a nice or normal person, THAT would have made me take notice!
Salmi plays 'Mr. Featherstone"--a heartless man whose sole joys in life are making money and stomping on people to get that money! After taking great delight in toying with his next victim, he is approached by s sexy devil (Julie Newmar) who offers to give him what he wants...for his soul. Now you'd think he wouldn't bother entertaining this, as he's worth over $30,000,000! But, his wish involves wanting to go back in time to his youth--so he can manipulate and scheme in order to make himself even richer! That's because he's planning on using his current knowledge and applying it to the past. One example is land he knows will yield a fortune in oil--but there is a catch. Heck, there's always a catch on this show when dealing with the powers of Satan!!
I liked this show. The twist was very entertaining--partly because it was cleverly written and partly because the viewer really, really hates Featherstone and takes delight in watching this jerk fall on his face!! Well acted, written and unusual--even if it is one of several deal with the devil episodes on the show.
