A trio of criminals and their scientist accomplice put themselves in suspended animation for one hundred years after stealing a fortune in gold.
Director Jus Addiss keeps the gripping story moving along at a brisk pace as well as ably crafts a stark gritty tone. The excellent acting by the top-rate cast keeps this show humming: Oscar Beregi Jr. as shrewd mastermind Farwell, Simon Oakland as the ruthless and avaricious De Cruz, Lew Gallo as the weaselly Brooks, and John Mitchum as the dim-witted Erbie. Rod Serling's clever script neatly explores how greed and the lack of honor amongst these thieves proves to be their undoing plus offers a deliciously ironic twist at the end which once again proves that crime just doesn't pay. A worthy episode.
