From IMDB: Before blacking out on a test flight during an experiment under increased oxygen storage, a scientist experiences a sudden increase in his brain activity, which he determines to investigate further.

Classic sci-fi veterans Arthur Franz and Thomas Browne Henry enhance this episode. Truman Bradley kicks things off with a nice demonstration of a "super charger" increased the power of a car engine.

The story starts with a laboratory experiment to perfect a blood serum ewhich enriches the blood so that pilots won't black out at high altitudes.

The first high altitude test of the serum seems to be a failure, because Franz does black out. But in the seconds before he looses consciousness he relives several months of his life, in perfect detail.

From this experience he theorizes that the brain can be "supercharged" by near-death experiences or other stimulus. This might mean that people could be given a serum that accelerates their learning abilities to a fantastic rate.
