    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Mike Ferris being trapped in the telephone booth was based on an incident that happened to Rod Serling. Serling was at an airport, making a call when he heard the boarding announcement for his flight over the intercom. Trying to get out of the booth, he started pushing on the door, forgetting in his panic that phone booth doors open by pulling the door's handle inwards. Serling waved down a passerby for help, and the man kicked in the door. Though Serling found his mental lapse embarrassing, he incorporated it into this episode.
    • Goofs
      When Ferris pokes his head in the doorway of the bakery, several moving crew members heads can be seen reflected in the front glass window- at about the level where the pies are displayed.
    • Quotes
      • Air Force General: You see, we can feed the stomach with concentrates. We can supply microfilm for reading, recreation - even movies of a sort. We can pump oxygen in and waste material out. But there's one thing we can't simulate that's a very basic need. Man's hunger for companionship. The barrier of loneliness - that's one thing we haven't licked yet.
