The Twilight Zone

Summaries

  • Young Southerner Jefferson Myrtlebank wakes up during his own funeral and wants to know what is going on. The townsfolk are glad to see him back, but they begin to wonder if he's a man - or something else.
  • Everyone at Jeff Myrtlebank's funeral service is shocked when he pushes the coffin lid open and steps out, seemingly in perfect health. Old Doc Bolton mumbles some ridiculous explanation and the people there settle down a bit. Obviously his family is happy that he's back with them and his fiancée welcomes him as he is, with no questions asked. They do notice that he's a bit different. As time goes on however, rumors begin spread and the locals decide to take action.—garykmcd
