Episode Title: “The Bard” Original Air-Date: Opening narration: “You’ve just witnessed opportunity, if not knocking, at least scratching plaintively on a closed door. Mr. Julius Moomer, a would be writer who, if talent came twenty-five cents a pound, would be worth less than car fare. But, in a moment, Mr. Moomer, through the offices of some black magic, is about to embark on a brand-new career. And although he may never get a writing credit on the Twilight Zone, he’s about to become an integral character in it.” Julius Moomer dreams of writing. On one occasion he is given the opportunity, but with a very tight deadline. Julius enters a used bookstore, and comes upon a book of black magic. Using it he summons William Shakespeare, who then ghost writes a play with Julius. Closing Narration: “Mr. Julius Moomer, a streetcar conductor with delusions of authorship. And if the tale just told seems a bit tall, remember a thing called poetic license-and another thing called the Twilight Zone.” |
