As had been the case with the first season's inaugural episode "Where Is Everybody?", the second season of Twilight Zone opened with a "solo" drama, wherein the protagonist finds himself alone in a bizarre situation, with no memory of how he got there. In "King Nine Will Not Return," Robert Cummings stars as Army Air Force captain James Embry, who awakens to find himself stumbling through the desert, near the wreckage of a WWII bomber. Laboriously putting the pieces together, Embry desperately searches for his fellow crew members, who seemingly appear and disappear right before his eyes. Inspired by the recent disovery of the wreckage of the American bomber Lady Be Good in the Libyan Desert, "King Nine Will Not Return" was written by Rod Serling and first aired September 30, 1960. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Actor Paul Henried's directorial efforts always tended to be on the sensationalistic side, and Girls on the Loose was no exception. Mara Corday stars as Vera Parkinson, the beautiful-but-deadly head of a robbery gang. To throw the cops off the track, Vera runs a legit nightclub as a cover. Assembling a major payroll heist, Vera enlists the aid of "inside woman" Agnes Clark (Abby Dalton), an employee of the targetted company. When Agnes shows signs of remorse, Vera has her killed-setting off a chain reaction of murders. By film's end, only one of the principals is left standing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After killing his partner Harry Bent (Paul Lambert), outlaw Fred Myers (Robert H. Harris) and his wife Jennifer (Julie Van Zandt) abscond with their stolen loot and set up a "legitimate" business in Dodge City.
