Original Story by Sam Dann Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall

After a cop is forced to kill robbers, the grateful shop owner gives his wife a statue that will grant three wishes.

Won't you join me once again for an adventure in mystery and suspense, where space is as boundless and as unlimited as your imagination and time is measured by the beat of your heart. Most of us know who we are but how many of us know why we are. Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief is each man's lot ordained from the beginning and fated to be or not to be or is it all a random throw of the dice a casual flip of a coin do we tamper with fate at our peril.

Consider Napoleon. Historians agree that his doom at Waterloo had been ordained some three years before in his costly victory at Borodino, a tiny village on the road to Moscow. They say that at Borodino, he lost the flower of his army. And why did he lose so many of his best soldiers? Because he was unable to think clearly. The reason? He was suffering from a severe cold. Why? Well, we know that his orderly had gotten drunk the day before, and thus neglected to have a pair of dry boots ready for the great general. So, in a very real sense, this unnamed, unknown, obscure military servant changed the course of history. Those are the facts. We may ask, why was the orderly drunk? Did it just happen Or was it all part of a plan? Is every single action on the part of every living thing prescribed, ordained, decreed? We don't know. We're just asking. As will some of the people you're about to meet.
