( man ) There is nothing wrong
with your television set.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are controlling transmission .

lf we wish to make it louder,
we will bring up the volume.

lf we wish to make it softer,
we will tune it to a whisper.

We will control the horizontal.
We will control the vertical.

We can roll the image, make it flutter.

We can change the focus to a soft blur
or sharpen it to crystal clarity.

For the next hour, sit quietly
and we will control all you see and hear.

We repeat, there is nothing wrong
with your television set.

You are about to participate
in a great adventure.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from the inner mind to...
The Outer Limits.

Somewhere south of the Mongolian border
and north of the Tropic of Cancer,

in that part of the world we call the Orient,

a slumbering giant
has shaken itself to wakefulness.

Passed over in most histories
as a nation forgotten by time,

its close-packed millions
in the short span of 20 years

have been stirred to a fury by one man :
Li Chin -Sung.

A benevolent despot in his homeland,

Sung stands
as an irresponsible threat to peace

in the eyes of the rest of the world.

William Lyons Selby, candidate for
the presidency of the United States,

predicted by every poll, survey and primary

to be a certain winner
in the forthcoming election .

Your Excellency, this is Major Ho Chi-Wong.

I am honoured, Excellency.

He has committed to memory
every detail of Selby's life.

Physically he fits
the candidate's size exactly.

The measurement of the skull is identical.

The same is true of the neck, the biceps,

the forearm, the chest, the waist,
et cetera, et cetera.

The weight and the height are the same,

the eyes and hair,
to the naked eye, identical.

And... the voice?

( Selby) But an America on guard,
that remains the guide and bearer

for the march towards peace of all free people,
cannot, indeed, will not...

But an America on guard,
that remains the guide and bearer

for the march towards peace of all free people,
cannot, indeed, will not...

And fingerprints?

We have devised this cast for that purpose.

ln 1 953, Selby was involved
in a minor hunting accident

which resulted in the loss of the third finger
of the left hand at the second joint.

Entirely healed.

Proceed.

The fluid l'm about to inject will,
after a time lapse of 40 to 70 seconds,

cause the cells of the musculature...

..fat, the cartilage, dermis
and epidermis of the body

to become malleable
in molecular arrangement

for a period of two minutes.

During this time, the outer covering
of the body will become entirely plastic.

This will allow us to change
the outer configuration instantly and at our will,

and change back again if we so desire.

So!

Your Excellency, you're about to witness
the most unique achievement

that has come from years of research
and experimentation in molecular plasticity.

Proceed.

My flight was late. Does that affect plans?

No. We should be in downtown Chicago
within 30 minutes.

Here's a report on Mr Selby.

- How current is your intelligence?
- He is under constant surveillance.

We have maintained an hour-by-hour log
of his activities since his arrival.

- Has there been any change in his itinerary?
-None. He arrived on schedule.

- He plans to leave tomorrow evening.
- You have done well.

- We shall proceed as planned.
- Thank you , Excellency.

Exactly where is the candidate at this moment?

His speech at the stadium
is scheduled to end at 1 1 .30.

He should be just reaching
his suite at the Carleton Plaza.

(cheering )

Yeah. What time do we go on the air?

OK, l'll have him at the station by 4.45.

Yes, without fail. OK, Chuck.
Bye-bye. See you then .

- That is an ugly mob out there.
- But it's our ugly mob.

Most are of voting age, Dad.

Bill, l just talked to Crowley
at station WAGB TV, New York.

You're set up for two weeks from Monday.

That's election eve. Couldn 't be better.
What about Washburn ?

He'll be on a week earlier,

but after your show
they won 't even remember his name.

lf you still have any doubts, look at this.

l ran into a buddy from UPl.
This'll be in the morning editions.

A compilation of every poll and survey.
They all pick Selby by wide margins.

lt's all over but the voting.

Forget it. The only polls that elected anybody
were the ones where they count ballots.

Ask Truman or Dewey.

No, greatest mistake we could make
is to get overconfident.

Or overtired. Get out of here
and let my father get his rest.

- Just one little coffee?
-No. l'm going to my room too.

l promised my hard-working husband
l'd call, and it's 1 2.30 already.

Chuck, you're doing a wonderful job.

- Look at the material l have to work with.
- Good night, everybody.

Get a good night's sleep.
See you in the morning.

- Good night.
- Say hello to Bob for me.

l will. Sleep well.

Mobile operator, please.

(phone buzzes)

Yes?

About two minutes. l will remain here.

You are to call immediately
if there's any difficulty.

Now.

After the others had left,
lundressed and went to bed.

l couldn 't go to sleep right away,
so l decided to work on tomorrow's speech.

Suddenly, my bedroom door burst open

and this wild man came rushing at me
shouting, ''You'll never be president!''

As he reached for my throat,

l managed to get my foot on his chest
and pushed him away.

He was off balance for a moment.

l had time to reach
under my pillow for the gun .

When he came at me again , l fired.

- Had you ever seen him before?
-Never.

We must get a guard.
This could happen again .

l assure you , it won 't.

The police beat reporters are out there
and the wires have men covering.

- They want to see you .
- l'm not going to see them.

Go out and play it down
as much as you can .

Anybody else would be
grabbing for headlines, Bill.

That's just what l don 't want.

lf the people voted for me out of sympathy,

because of what happened here tonight,
l'd rather lose. l mean it.

- ls there anything l can get you , Dad?
- Thank you , dear. No.

l'm all right. l'm fine.

Thank God. We might have lost you .

l didn 't even know you carried a gun .

( music and cheering )

(speech inaudible )

Our time is running out.
Just one or two more questions. Mr Scott.

Through the miracle of electronics,

a presidential candidate can see himself
as others see him.

What a sobering experience.

( Scott) l'd like your feelings on this matter.

( Selby on TV) Gentlemen , please understand,
summitry does not mean appeasement,

nor is it a magic cure for anything.

l simply feel that when two heads of state
meet in good faith,

they must gain a better
understanding of each other,

and, quite possibly, they could
accomplish something for peace.

- Mr Schumacher.
- Mr Selby...

lt's a long time since we've had an eligible
bachelor in the White House. lf you're...

By tomorrow, we should have
a pretty good idea where we stand.

Well, l'll borrow from Calvin Coolidge
to answer that.

No comment! And don 't quote me!

Tomorrow, we're going to be toasting
a new president and vice-president.

No question about that. The question is,
which two men shall we be toasting?

Well, l give you the winners.
S and P. Success and prosperity.

Thank you , my dear.

You shall be amply rewarded for your loyalty.

Bill, tomorrow why don 't you
come on out to the farm?

We can spend a quiet day, go hunting.

- We can watch the results later on TV.
- Great idea. l'll be there by noon .

But, Dad, you didn 't touch your zabaglione.

l asked them to serve it especially for you .

Yes, yes, l know.

But the women 's vote has
a way of slipping from a candidate

when the press starts to call him chubby.

Glad we came out today.

We're not gonna have too much time for this.

- You're counting chickens again .
- You can 't fool the American people.

They know the right man when they see him.

Hold it. Hey, l think l smell
some nice, tender grouse.

That's the second time in 20 years
you hit what you aimed at.

l've had my fill of hunting.

Let's head back.

( TV) ..the South Dakota districts
all through the entire farmlands.

From Denver.

Denver gives us Selby and...

- Physician , keep thyself awake.
- Thanks, Ann .

l guess l should be awake
when my father-in -law officially makes it.

( TV) An overriding result that certainly
can be called a major victory.

Selby is way ahead.

Moving ahead in lowa.
Moving ahead in Kansas City...

What's the matter, Ted?

l just can 't get over
that shot you made this afternoon .

Wait a minute. This might be it.

( TV) Louis Price, the governor's press secretary,
is heading for the microphone.

The governor has asked me
to read this statement,

which he has sent to Mr Selby
in the form of a telegram.

''My warmest congratulations
and best wishes to William Lyons Selby.''

(whoops)

Dad!

- Bill!
- Thank you ! Thank you , my dear.

Thank you , boys, for all you did!
Now we've won the battle.

Let's win the war!

l do solemnly swear
that will l faithfully execute

the office of President of the United States
and will, to the best of my ability,

preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States.

(intercom buzzes)

- Yes?
- The vice-president would like to see you .

Show him in , please.

- l hope you don 't mind. l wanted...
- Just let me get these out of the way.

Farm subsidy bill,
Social Security amendments.

With the Congress behind us,
we can get things done.

You are with me in all this?

Yes, of course l am.
This is what l don 't understand.

My memo on the summit meeting.
Something not clear?

You're going to meet with Li Chin -Sung?

He's arriving the day after tomorrow.

- We both know what he's after.
- Yes.

l expect him to offer
to pull his troops out of Ling Valley.

Yes, on condition that we do the same.

That is one thing we will talk about.

Do we pull out if Sung does?

lf he makes that concession ,
we must do the same.

Six months ago you gave me five reasons
why American strength in the Orient

was as vital to security as our missiles.

You said we could never negotiate
from weakness. Do you recall?

Of course.

Now you'll pull our troops out
because Sung says he will?

l think it's a mistake
to talk about it, absolutely.

l'm proud to have you by my side. You've got
the guts to speak if you feel you're right.

- l am right!
- You're wrong. You're too rigid.

You feel that to bend is to break,
equate change with weakness.

By changing policy,
when change is in order,

we strengthen our position , not weaken it.

ls your mind made up?

Nothing is decided.

l haven 't even met the man , have l?

Well, Ted, l have the press conference.

We'll talk another time. Later on .

- Ted?
- Hi.

- Can l get you a glass of milk?
-No.

You gonna ruin your health
while Teddy and l visit Mother?

This summit meeting is like a knife.

- l thought you believed in summitry.
- Of course l do.

l'm just not in favour
of giving away the Ling Valley.

Suppose both sides do pull out.
No armies, no wars.

Oh, Ann .

Look, if Sung pulls out,

he moves back across the border: 500 miles.

lf we pull out, we come home: 5,000 miles.

A day, a week or a month later,

Sung sweeps back in
with nothing to stop him.

- Can you talk to the military?
- l can 't talk to anyone.

l'm the vice-president.

l can discuss foreign policy.

There are times when l even help to shape it,
but l never criticise it.

lt's so frustrating.

Now l know why they call
the vice-president the silent man .

And the day after tomorrow
l've gotta shake Li Chin -Sung's hand

and welcome him to our country.

- Welcome to our country, sir.
- l'm happy to meet you , Mr Pearson .

l want Premier Sung to meet all of you ,
but he must be very tired after his flight.

- Ted.
- Gentlemen .

Cocktails are being served in the Blue Room,
if you'll join me.

We'll be with you shortly.

(they speak Oriental language )

We're making very good progress.

Within three weeks, American troops
challenging you to the south will be withdrawn .

Excellent.

And missile bases?

We should be patient at least until the fall

before we move in that area.

Your judgement is sound.
l leave that detail in your hands.

- Thank you , sir.
-Now we're ready for the second phase.

Final preparations are very nearly completed.

We should make all the other substitutions
within the next few weeks.

Roy Lindley, Mercury, steel corporation .

Webber Norton , secretary of labour.

Gerald Fontaine, New York Chronicle

Herbert Mead,
Broadcasting Corporation of America.

And Whelan , Rudolph, Clark, Warner.

And not a single shot will have been fired.

An archer is known by his aim,
not his arrows.

And what about the Pearson substitution ?

You will have your new vice-president
by morning.

(floorboard creaks)

( knocking )

- Who's there?
- lt's us. Bob and Carol.

Hey! Well, this is a surprise.
Come on in .

Hope you're not angry at us
for dropping in without phoning first.

l'm delighted. When Ted and Ann are away,
l begin to hear noises.

- Can l get you some coffee?
-Not a thing.

Well...

There's something we must talk to you about.

Well, come on .

lt's Dad.

Something... something seems wrong with him.

Little things. By themselves,
none of them amount to a thing.

But put together,
they give me the strangest feeling.

Well, what kind of things?

For one thing, Bill has always been
vitally interested in my research.

He used to mention it.

The Apollo project always fascinated him,

yet it's months since he's mentioned it.

And personal things. Tastes in food.

Attitudes about people we've known .
His attitude towards us.

lt's tough to put into words, but Carol's dad
always took a proprietary interest in our lives.

ln a nice way, he tried to run things.

He meddled.
But it was a lovable kind of meddling.

And now?

He's polite.

He remembers all the right
anniversaries and birthdays.

But it's as if he turned to stone.

Suddenly, l don 't love him any more.

What was that?

What was it? Did you see him?

Look, did he just resemble you
or was he like a mirror image?

l saw him.
lt wasn 't someone who looked like me.

lt was me! l was looking at me!

- How is that possible?
- l don 't know.

You'd better tell Frank Summers
first thing in the morning.

Wait a minute.
Don 't say anything to Summers just yet.

- Why not?
- Think about it a minute.

People don 't look identically like other people
unless they're identical twins.

But what if a person
were made to look like someone else?

How? Plastic surgery?

The Russians have been
conducting experiments

in molecular rearrangement
in living organisms for some time.

- They've been very successful.
- Exactly what does that mean ?

l might have the answer.
When do you get to work?

- Usually around eight.
- Good. Come on , Carol.

l've got a day's work ahead of me tonight.

l don 't think you ought to stay here tonight.
Come to our place.

l'll be all right.
l don 't think he'll try it again .

- l hope not.
- Thank you , dear.

Report on Molecular Rearrangement

of Subcutaneous Matter
in the Rhesus Monkey

How's that for a title? Here...

''A few seconds later l was able to manipulate
and reshape the flesh of the monkey.''

''The speed the tissue entered a plastic state

seemed to be in direct proportion
to the strength of the serum.''

Assuming the serum
has been developed further,

they or someone would have the means
to reshape the physical features of anyone.

A man .

Perhaps Bill Selby.

Then it's possible the assassination attempt
in Chicago was not foiled by Selby.

lt was planned to appear that way. Selby is dead
and the man in the White House is... who?

Can you place a dental appointment
on Selby's calendar?

Yes.

lf the man is an impostor,
his teeth will give him away.

(buzzer)

Yes?

(secretary) l'm just reminding you
of your dental appointment tomorrow.

Cancel it.

The Secret Service has been
at his side since he took office.

- l'd know if he was an impostor.
- How?

He looks, talks, acts exactly like Selby.
He has become Selby!

Where do we go from here?

He's the most guarded man in the country.
How do we denounce him?

Before we attempt anything, is there
some way to prove William Selby is dead?

My next point. Buried in a grave in Chicago
is a man we believe to be Selby.

lf we make casts of his teeth and match them
against old X-rays, we'll have that proof.

- Marshall.
- l'll leave tomorrow.

You'll leave tonight! Who knows
how many more they plan to replace?

Or already have.

(intercom buzzes)

- Yes?
- Mr Lee has arrived.

Send him in .

l want to outline the plan one final time.
Do not fail again .

Pearson will be heading for the Columbia Hotel
to pick up Ambassador La Cour.

Three blocks from the hotel
we will make the substitution .

l will continue in his place
and bring the ambassador to your reception .

You have my anxious good wishes.

Thank you very much
for the opportunity of chatting.

My door is always open to men of sincerity
and goodwill. Please come again soon .

Try to get me the vice-president.

(rings)

No, if buttering up La Cour
will strengthen the alliance...

Good. He's staying at the Columbia.

l told him around eight.

He will talk your ear off, you know.

lf an ear will help, l'll be glad to give it.

- Did your mother mind keeping Teddy?
- She loves having him stay over.

(phone rings)

Hello? Yes, Frank.

lt's Summers.

He deserved so much more than that. Thanks.

- Did Marshall get the impressions?
- There are no impressions.

The body was cremated on October 28.

Oh, no.

Well, l'd better go.
l'll see you at the reception .

That's him.

(starts car)

l hope you're not too angry at me
for sending Ted on a peace mission .

That's what vice-presidents are for.

May l have the first dance
with the president's daughter?

l wish your dear mother were here tonight.

Dad, would you mind if l sat down ?

Why, of course not. ls something wrong?

No, no, l'll be fine.

l know that l'm a poor substitute for Ted,
but shall we give it a try?

There is your Ted.

lf you'll come this way, Mr Ambassador.

Monsieur La Cour, we are honoured, sir.

A great many of my friends are most anxious
to meet you , Mr Ambassador.

Ted.

- Stay close to Bob and Carol.
- What's the matter?

Just go.

Everyone! Please stop where you are!

Please! Come this way.

l want you all to look toward that door.

You are witness to the most monstrous act
of international espionage in modern history.

Frank Summers!

A few nights ago
an attempt was made on my life. lt failed.

Tonight, a second attempt was made.

lt too failed, thanks to Mr Summers,
who's been at my side.

But we have uncovered something far more
treacherous than an attempt on my life.

Through a new and almost incredible
chemical process,

this enemy has succeeded in altering
the human face, as you can see.

This man is not Ted Pearson , l am,
yet he is the exact image of me.

But there is more, far more.

Frank, take the president.

l accuse you of the assassination
of William Lyons Selby

and assuming his identity for the purposes of
overthrowing the United States government.

You're not the president.
You're a murderer and an impostor!

Bob Conner, l'll need your help.

Put an end to your treachery here and now.

You're the commander in chief now.
l can get SAC vanguard on the phone.

Just give the order.

There will be no order.

( man ) To Theodore Pearson ,
not even so monstrous a crime

as the assassination of William Lyons Selby
justifies an act of war.

Because there is no war
as we knew it, only annihilation .

A great American has been killed
serving his country.

Now those who continue to serve
must carry on ,

guarding our freedom with dignity
and unrelenting vigilance.

We now return control
of your television set to you

until next week at this same time
when the control voice will take you to...
