Barbara Polk has been the caregiver of her uncle Simon for twenty-five years, despite his abuses, offenses and cruelties. Uncle Simon is a scientist that keeps his laboratory in the basement closed all the time. When he trips on the ladder to the basement, he dies. The lawyer Mr. Schwimmer reads his will to Barbara and tells that she has inherited uncle Simon's house and possession. However, she must live in the house and take care of his last invention; otherwise, he will donate everything to a local college. Mr. Schwimmer and Barbara open the laboratory and find a robot locked inside. Soon Barbara learns how the robot behaves.
"Uncle Simon" is an unpleasant episode of "The Twilight Zone". Uncle Simon is a wicked man and terrible character. Barbara seems to be an ambitious woman that renounced her personal life expecting to inherit his possessions when her uncle dies, and cost twenty-five years of her life. The robot is a replica of uncle Simon; therefore, Barbara will be tormented for the rest of her life. In the end, "Uncle Simon" is a forgettable episode. My vote is six.
