Since "drummachick" already did such a nice job with her overview, I'll skip that.
But like her, this too is one of my favorite episodes from the entire series (along with "The Ghost of A. Chantz", and "Uhny Uftz").
I love the fact that the storyline of this particular episode is so completely "out there", and just so different from the more typical episodes of the series. Watching this, one gets the distinct impression that the cast (and crew) must have had a great deal of fun putting it together.
The only thing I DON'T understand, is how this particular episode (currently) only rates a (cumulative) score of 5.0! Oh well, to each his (or her) own.....moreless

Upon reading the script of this episode, Sheldon Leonard hated the idea and said it could not possibly work. When Carl Reiner and the cast insisted on going ahead with it, Leonard walked out of the meeting, washing his hands of any involvement with that week's show. After screening the completed episode, Leonard made a public apology to cast and crew admitting he was wrong and saying that it was one of the funniest episodes he had seen yet of the series.

This episode is a takeoff on The Twilight Zone.
