Russell Johnson's first Twilight Zone episode has him as the inventor of a time machine which is not very good at doing things right. He tries to run the machine back 80 years to snage someone and bring them into the future. What happens is somehow he chooses a murderer and saves him from the hang man's noose.
Then he beats up the Professor, goes out of the modern labatory and into the modern big city streets where al the noise and bustle nearly drives a man from 80 years ago insane. Yet he survives to come back to the dead professor's lab where the man from the pat is confronted by another crook from the future.
This is the kind of theme that would get used later often in other films and movies. There is nothing wrong with that and later efforts turn out better than this one. It is a good show, and Serlings teleplay based on a novel is very good. The justice is tossed out on equal issues.
