520 A man volunteers to be a medical subject in Dr. Glenn
Barton's sleep deprivation experiments. When Barton warns
him of the dangerous nature of the experiments, the man
declares himself to be a murderer who is able to withstand
anything (0-130 ft.) -- Commercial for Winston cigarettes
(131-166 ft.) -- The murderer, Paul Cheever, explains that
he was an army platoon leader who left some tired men in
his platoon behind one day. These men later died in an
avalanche, and Cheever was court martialed and discharged
for his actions. Cheever's estranged wife visits Barton's
office to dissuade Cheever from participating, but Cheever
refuses to talk to her. During the experiment, Cheever
hallucinates that he sees his wife on television, so he
kicks in the screen. After setting a 161-hour record for
sleeplessness, Cheever escapes (167-437 ft.) -- Commercial
for Acrilan fabric (438-475 ft.) -- Cheever appears at his
wife's residence with a gun, babbling incoherently about a
car accident and his sister. After begging his wife to
admit he's at fault for the death of the men, an agitated
Cheever forces her to accompany him on a drive. Cheever
wrecks the car and drags his wife on foot to the avalanche
site. Finally, Cheever is reunited with his devoted wife
(476-929 ft.) --
520 Promotional spot for Winston cigarettes starring George
Nader, who suggests giving Winstons as Christmas gifts.
Nader shows a special Winston 2-carton pack that folds
into a Christmas house for children (930-966 ft.) --
Preview of next week's episode, involving a woman's
