(Narrator) "An occurrence a t owl creek bridge"
in two forms...
As it was dreamed and as it was lived and died.
This is the stuff of fantasy,
the thread of ima Gina t/on,
the ingredients of the twilight zone.
(Male presenter) And now, Mr. Serl/ng.
Twilightzone regular Charles beaumont brings us our next offering,
a tale of age and youth, and a beautiful woman.
Our star is Ann Blyth, our story, "queen of the nile."
They say that beauty is only skin deep,
and when the surface is scratched,
what you might find underneath
is something quite apart from beauty.
This is the rather intriguing basis
of our next presentation on the twilightzone.
Miss Ann Blyth in "queen of the nile."
