ynopsis
A male and female survivor from opposite armies of an apocalyptic world war meet in a deserted, war-ravaged town. Immediately, they begin to fight each other, but the male wants to put an end to it. After a period of adjustment, they learn to trust each other and eventually walk away from the town together.
Few details are given about the war that preceded the events of the episode. Rod Serling says the timeframe could be in the past or the future. The only thing the female says is "prekrassnyi" "(прекрасный)", the Russian word for "lovely." Pittman chose Russian for the word for obvious reasons, but there is no explicit indication that the war was between the U.S. and Soviet Union, only that is was a war between two opposing world powers.
Notably, this episode contains no
supernatural elements. Similar episodes includeThe Jeopardy Room , and The Shelter.Closing narration
