Tales of Tomorrow.

Presented by Chrysler, a name that makes news in watch bands.

How would you explain?

A sudden, overpowering, unnatural urge to destroy everything you love.

Learn the answer tonight, when Tales of Tomorrow presents The Evil Within,

starring Margaret Phillips.

Hello. You know how clever you feel when you transform a simple outfit into a

high-fashion costume just by adding an inexpensive accessory?

Well, This young lady here is wearing a plain and seemingly uninspired dress.

Now, by adding a gay floral collar and a matching headband,

her plain dress is completely changed to an inspired fashion.

Likewise, you can transform your old plain wristwatch into a smart, expensive

-looking timepiece simply by adding Chrysler's golden fantasy watch band.

The new Golden Fantasy watch band is a fabulous piece of jewelry.

It will fit even the smallest watch, transforming it into a glamorous

bracelet timepiece of thrilling new beauty.

Ask for it by name.

It's Golden Fantasy by Chrysler.

Whether you like the classic tailored style or the one with sparkling jewels,

there's a Golden Fantasy to please your taste.

Whichever you choose, the sculptured beauty of Golden Fantasy will attract

admiring glances and make your watch noticeably new and smart-looking.

And even though this lovely Golden Fantasy looks like a solid one-piece

bracelet, see how its unique construction allows it to stretch.

So convenient, easy to put on, easy to slip up out of the way when you work

around the house.

And remember, Golden Fantasy costs less than many ordinary watch bands, only $9

.95, federal tax included, for the tailored band.

Or this one set with sparkling jewel-like stones for $12.95.

The Golden Fantasy Expansion Bracelet makes a thrilling, never-to-be-forgotten

gift. So go to your jeweler and ask him to show you the fabulous Golden Fantasy

made only by Chrysler, the name that means quality in watch bands.

And now Chrysler presents The Evil Within, starring Margaret Phillips.

Oh, darling, you're going to spill it. Careful, careful. Now, I don't want to

spill any of this stuff.

Bet you never guessed what I got in the box.

Well, obviously, not flowers. I have the final perfect serum.

I've heard that from poor Peter. Yeah, well, this time I've proved to be on any

doubt of the laboratory.

Really? That's right. And once more, I did it within the time limit. I sat down

with the foundation because the three years won't be up for a couple of days

yet. Peter, you've really finished it all now?

No.

I gave a shot of this stuff to the monkeys at the lab. You should see how

they reacted.

Instantly, but instantly, they lost all their behavior controls.

And they were inhibitions and they were at each other's throats in a matter of

minutes. Oh, how nice.

We had to put them in separate cages.

Why did you bring it home with you? Because the refrigerator at the

laboratory broke down and this stuff has to be kept very, very cold.

You know something? It's interesting because there's every reason to believe

that this will work as well in human beings too.

You know what it does?

It goes straight.

the glands that uh affect the emotions right and it stimulates these and when

they're stimulated enough they overpower the mind and then that unleashes what

you might call the evil in a human being wouldn't it be better to unleash the

good enough oh don't worry about the good and the person we'll get to the

good and the person don't you worry about that wait a minute whoa

i could have broken the whole thing

Getting the antidote will be much easier, you know, and we'll be able to

use it on human beings too, but not until then, because we don't know how

long the effects of this stuff last.

Nothing is broken.

Had your dinner, Peter? Uh, no, but I had a sandwich and a cup of coffee. I

made a pie, apple, just the way you like it. No, no, no, cease, cease, cease. I'm

not hungry, and I thank you very much.

Peter, let's go to a movie. You're going early for the first time in months.

I have some work to do.

I thought you'd finished with all of that. I have finished the tough part of

it, and there it is. There is the three years' work right there, the formula

that we searched three years to find.

And we have to take good care of that.

Finding the antidote's going to be much easier.

You're going to do that, too?

That's right.

That's what we're after.

Hope it leads us to a serum that will help stabilize the good instincts in

people, because that's what we're really after.

Well, it's going to go on, isn't it?

On and on and on.

What is?

My sitting here with a magazine, eating dinner alone, waiting for you to come

home. So tired, you fall asleep without even turning the light off.

Why don't you just go to a movie? Alone? Like a widow?

I might as well be one, wouldn't I? Annie, if this thing works out, then

we'll have all the money we need and we'll get anything we want.

But no husband!

I'd still be married to a man who isn't a husband. What kind of a wife does that

make me, Peter?

Can't you even listen to me? I'm listening to you. Haven't you got

anything to say to me? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I have something to say to you.

I couldn't have done it without you.

You've been any different you've been less kind or understanding could never

done it and I'm gonna need much more of that I

know I get so tired of it and I thought you were all finished but no no no it's

going to go on until I'll be too old or to care or to know any differently I'm

going to be completely destroyed by you when it's such an ugly hateful

experiment. This is the only the there's the first part

Three years.

This is the first part.

Annie, Annie, Annie.

I am going to take a walk.

Oh, good. Then I come with you. No, no, no, no, no, no. Because I have to do

some very, very scientific thinking.

You understand?

Yes, I understand.

Now we can't even go for a walk together.

Well, what time will you be back or shouldn't I bother to wait up?

Well, as a matter of fact, I have to stop by at the lab and take a look at

the monkeys.

But you just came from the monkeys. I had to come from the monkeys with the

serum, so I couldn't put it in the refrigerator.

Oh, monkey for me, or I probably wouldn't even see you at all.

Now, listen to me.

Ralph's at home.

He's working.

And he's got some information for me. And he's going to call you, and you be

very careful how you take it down.

All right. All right. Oh, I forgot your briefcase.

There. See?

See how much I depend upon you, madam.

Bye.

Hello?

Yes, Ralph, of course, this is Mrs. Grant.

Well, I can't help it if I sound different, can I? What do you want,

Ralph?

Well, of course, Peter's pleased about the experiment. Why shouldn't he be?

What difference does it make what I think, Ralph?

You've got a message for me? Give it to me.

How long is this message going to take? I haven't got all night.

No, I'm feeling fine.

But it's such a bore.

As a matter of fact, I've just decided.

If this message is so terribly important to Peter, he can take it himself.

Hello there, friends.

Do you ever stop to think how much a frame means to a picture?

For example, this frame here actually detracts from the charm of this famous

painting.

Notice this.

This frame, the right one, actually lends to the beauty of the painting,

complementing the work of the artist.

The same thing is true of your wristwatch.

No matter how expensive your wristwatch is, what the size or the shape, the new

exclusive double feature watch band by Chrysler will make it look more

expensive and also much more attractive in every way.

Let me show you why.

Here it is, America's most beautiful watch band, the Double Feature by

Chrysler. Let me tell you why Double Feature is so different and why it's

called the Double Feature. For the first time in any watch band anywhere, you get

both expansion and the expensive look of a solid gold bracelet. That's right, a

bracelet top and an expansion back.

That's why Double Feature is more than a watch band. It's the best friend a watch

ever had.

A magnificent piece of jewelry that transforms any watch into a timepiece of

distinctive beauty.

Here's double feature, superbly styled to flatter the straight edge watch.

Or, if you wear a round watch, then here is another style specially designed with

curved ends to fit the round watch.

Now, see how the expansion links are placed only on the underside of your

wrist where they can't pinch your skin or catch hairs.

Yes, you get everything in the double feature.

You even get a choice of top panels.

You can choose this one with rich lizard leather inlay, or for the same price of

only $1,250, federal tax included, get the gleaming faceted inlay top that

looks like solid gold.

Either way, you get a wonderful combination of the latest in looks and

the newest in comfort.

Ask for the dramatic new two-in-one watch band, double feature by Chrysler.

And now back to our story, The Evil Within, starring Margaret Phillips.

Breakfast?

No, no, no.

I'll get a bite.

I'm on my way to the lab.

Okay.

What time did you get home last night?

Two o'clock.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to go down to the lab and I'm going to call the foundation.

And I'm going to show my findings. I'm going to ask for an extension of

contract.

It's all my fault, Peter.

I was getting something out of the refrigerator and I knocked the rack open

and it spilled all over the place. I had to throw it away.

I was so terribly upset because I knew you would be upset and I knew you'd be

tired when you came home and I knew there was nothing you could do about it

in the middle of the night anyway.

Please, please, please.

It's all right. It's all right. It's fine.

What will you do? You were going to use it. No, no, no. I'll just lose a couple

hours of work. I'll have to make some more.

Can you?

Yeah, I can do it. I got the formula.

Oh. I have to make up more anyway to prove my case, so.

I'm so relieved.

I didn't see it all night. It's all right, Annie. It's all right. Forget it

now. Accidents happen.

Did you see the...

The notebook with the formula in it?

Don't you remember?

Look, I brought it home here.

Oh, my, you are getting absent-minded, Professor Grant.

Don't you remember taking it back to the lab with you last night?

Did I?

Well, I handed you your briefcase right at the door. You must have left it at

the lab.

Maybe.

Listen, did Ralph call and leave the message?

Message? Message, that's right. Ralph was going to call and was going to leave

the message with you.

He didn't call.

All right.

I gotta go to the lab. Peter?

Yes, ma'am.

Call me.

Let me know what happened.

I'll call you. I'll let you know. Bye-bye.

I don't understand. It's really rough. I don't.

It must be here. It must be.

Are you sure?

Andy said I brought it here.

I don't know. Maybe... Maybe I am getting absent-minded.

You could have lost it on the way. No, I didn't. I didn't because I came straight

here and from here I went straight home.

Well, it's not around here, I'm sure.

We got notes in the process?

Not very complete. I know, but we have notes.

I have none at all for the last few weeks. All right, what do we have to do?

Maybe we can reconstruct the formula from these now.

We'd better get going.

This won't precipitate properly at all.

Oh, no, that isn't it either.

You want to try it again?

Yeah, sure, try it again.

You know, I think maybe this time... No, no, look, let's face it, let's face it.

This thing has set us back months and years and days.

Did you call me last night?

Yes.

You did?

Yes, just like we planned.

That's strange, because Annie said that you didn't call.

No, she sounded strange, upset.

When you told me she'd go up to test tubes... I don't understand.

I don't... See, Ralph, Annie has never lied to me before.

Well, maybe she forgot.

Maybe.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, you know?

No. Oh, you mind if I work a little bit?

No, go ahead.

Look, I'm going to go home, and if anything happens, you call me, okay?

Peter, you're home early again.

New earrings.

I treated myself. I hope you don't mind.

What happened to the lad today?

Oh, Peter, don't look so unhappy.

Life is going to be so much better from now on.

Oh, I almost forgot. I had to make a phone call. Is the phone working all

right?

Fine. Why?

Because Ralph said he called and you said he didn't.

Oh, of course he'd say that.

He was supposed to call, wasn't he?

I want to know more about what happened last night. Oh, such curiosity about me

all of a sudden.

Well, I took a bath and I washed my hair. You know what I mean now.

You're lying to me, please.

Well, doesn't my hair look nice? I'm not interested in your hair. I want to know

about the phone call. Oh, not that again. Again and again and again.

Don't shout. I'll shout because you tell me why.

All right.

Go on.

Well. Go on.

He said such terrible things about you.

I didn't want to tell you.

I don't believe that.

Then stop asking me. Will you please tell me? All right.

He called.

I hung up on him. Why? Because I wanted to. I've always wanted to.

I poured your serum down the drain.

I burned your precious formula.

You destroyed everything you cared about, haven't you?

You destroyed me, and now we're even.

You either hate me, or you're insane.

Insane? No, no, not I, but you are.

Giving up everything... But you understand, Annie, it'll take me months

to get back where I was. Yes, you do.

Your contract with the Foundation is up in a few days.

Annie, this whole thing is my life. It was.

Not anymore.

What do you think the Foundation will say? Are you going to tell them that

your wife threw away the theorem and burned it and that you'll have to sign

all over again?

They'll laugh at you, Peter. Or will you tell them that it was all a mistake

yesterday and that you'll need more time and more money?

That's your choice.

They're to resign from the Foundation.

Well, I've let you know of a course, have I? They said, Peter, you've lost.

You'll have to make a...

I have

it

last night, Ellie. It was right there. Sitting over a pipe.

Have a seat, please.

Do you eat any of this?

Last night after you left.

Is that a crime? No.

Don't you understand that you've taken the serum? Mrs. Serum spilled into the

pie and it changed you. Oh, Peter.

Please don't, don't, don't laugh at me. This is a very serious thing. You don't

know what you're saying or what you're doing or anything.

Please understand one thing. You cannot damage me or ruin my career. I can have

what's left in the pie. I can have it analyzed and get the formula back.

Please. Annie, don't worry.

We'll get the antidote and then you'll be yourself again. But I don't want to

be. I hate that other woman. You don't know what you're saying. But I do.

She was a fool.

I promised myself to destroy you.

The way you destroyed me, now I will.

Annie, you're not going to murder me.

You?

Oh, of course not.

I kill myself.

And I'll be on your conscience for the rest of your life. No, don't move, you

see.

Annie, please put down the knife.

I'd sooner be dead.

All right.

I give it up. The whole career, I give it up. I don't believe you.

I'll give you my word of honor.

If you'll give me your word of honor to put the knife down. You are a coward.

I'm not a coward. I love you.

Really? Really. And I swear I'll go on loving you for the rest of my life.

Good, good, good.

It'll be that much worse for you.

Well, you'd better answer it, Peter.

Oh, go on, go on.

No, I won't do anything.

Bye, you're away.

I have time to enjoy myself.

Hello, hello.

It's Ralph. Sorry to disturb you. That's all right.

The first serum, the one that took? Yes. It's worn off.

Suddenly, as quickly as it started.

You ought to see them. Peaceful and normal.

You sure?

Absolutely sure.

At last...

Let's see, exactly twenty-five and one-half hours.

Twenty-five.

Twenty-five and a half.

Twenty-five.

And he took it about... about eight.

If I was sure, if I knew what time... Maybe just... just

fifteen minutes, maybe. Just fifteen.

And maybe everything will be all right.

What's that?

What did you say? I didn't hear you.

No, Ralph, nothing. Thank you. Bye.

That was... That was Ralph. He was on the phone.

What did he say?

He said I was more or less talking to myself.

As usual, everything to yourself.

Annie... I want you... to do me a favor.

I want you to give me about 15

minutes to say all the things that I failed to say in three years.

Just about a quarter of an hour.

I won't change my mind.

Please.

Just a quarter of an hour.

It'll be interesting to hear what you have to say.

Go ahead.

Tell me all these things I've been wanting to hear.

You've got 15 minutes.
