Opening Narration

ynopsis

Joe and Phyllis are an old married couple who don’t get along well. Joe gets home from his job as a cab driver late one night and Phyllis starts jumping to conclusions about him seeing another woman. In the meantime, a man is in the next room fixing their broken TV. The man leaves and their TV starts getting channel 10 which is a station that sees into the past, present, and future of Joe and Phyllis’ lives. However, only Joe can see this channel. The TV shows Joe’s fate by showing him how he kills Phyllis in a fight, his trial where he is found guilty for murder, and how he is to die in the electric chair. Phyllis is convinced that Joe has lost his mind and starts to taunt and laugh at him. This angers Joe, and he attacks Phyllis and murders her, thus making the future shown on the TV set come to pass.
