Warning: The YouTube version of this episode is incomplete. About five minutes are missing, so the recording jumps forward several times. Sad

I'm a fan of actor Dane Clark, and he's perfectly cast as trouble electronics technician who suffers a sever electrical shock while repair a large super-computer.

The jolt increases his intelligence and gives him extraordinary hearing. He doesn't realize it at first, but he gradually discovers his new-found abilities, and it allows him to come to the rescue of young lady (Beverly Garland) who is being abused by her cruel boyfriend.

This episode is reminiscent of the better Twilight Zone episodes, but that famous series had the annoying habit of ignoring the reason for strange things that happened, as if nobody cared about the "thinking" parts of the story. Rolling Eyes
