Russell Johnson ( professor from Gilligan's Island , playing one here ) and Albert Salmi playing another rough villain.
The professor here has a time machine and it brings Joe Casewell to 1960 . Interesting the professor is not surprised it worked there is no particular joy in the achievement for him. Casewell is from 1880 Montana . He's about to hang but gets a reprieve. The professor records his observations and knows he didn't get a model or even average person for his experiment. He's already told Casewell about modern life and looking out the window of a skyscraper Casewell is unsettled by the lights and noise.
They exchange their feelings on life a bit but it's not given much time. Casewell is still violent and attacks the professor killing him.
Casewell goes out into the city and nothing about it makes him curious just overwhelmed. He do like the noise or flashing neon lights. In a bar he shoots both a jukebox and a television. The television show that's on is unfortunately a cliche , a western with a gunfighter a d a drawn gun . We know where this is going. The only thing he likes that is familiar is booze . He makes his way back to the laboratory thinking the professor is just knocked out and can still help him. He's not of course. Suddenly though Casewell isn't alone a petty thief is there with a gun. They size one another up and struggle . Interesting the thief kills Casewell when he becomes tangled from the cord for the window blinds! And the thief ends up in 1880 in the noose when he ends up in the time machine..
Interesting in a way but could have been better. I don't know why the professor is killed off so quickly. Casewell's reaction to the modern world was interesting in that we probably don't think of how much louder life is now and the lights were also too much for him. It's ironic in a way that such a violent character could be so easily overwhelmed by modern life. I don't know if he would have so easily been killed by a much slighter man and probably a less violent one.
The reactions of the people back in 1880 were well done especially when the man from the future took Casewell's place.
