This, I'm sorry to say, is one of the few Science Fiction Theatre episodes that aren't available on Youtube. Sad

But it's a wonderful story, and this is what IMDB says about it.

From IMDB: A doctor discovers a way to reverse degenerative diseases. He experiments on a young woman who makes a complete recovery. He discovers she is beginning to exhibit extraordinary physical abilities, and he realizes he must reverse the process before it is too late.

Fortunately I have the Shout Factory box set, and this episode is beautifully restored. Cool

This is a version of a short story caledThe Adaptive Ultimate, a science fiction short story by American writer Stanley G. Weinbaum, which has been presented several times over the years. It's been a radio play, several TV episodes, and a movie version called She Devil (1957).

This version includes the primary feature which the original story and all the versions include — a woman who has the amazing ability to change her appearance at will. She can make herself as beautiful and alluring as she wants, so that she can achieve her personal goals.

The climax is dramatic. I wish this episode was avaiable on YouTube.

Gentlemen, Shout Factory no longer sells their box set with the "fully restored" version of this great series
.
But Amazon still has one set left for sale, so if you'd like to own the box set of the only restored version of this series, get off your ass and order it today — because I'm tempted to buy it as a "collector’s item".
Shocked
