Well, this is an episode of The Twilight Zone from the fifth season, the final season.
I didn't get a lot of time to go do too much research on it, but from what I was able to read, it looks like the fifth season is where it started to kind of fade out.
I read a couple reviews where people were talking about the writer of this episode and how he had written only one other Twilight Zone and it also wasn't great.
Um, but this is basically a story of a young Japanese American, uh, played by George Takei comes to a older white man's house.
The older white man's played by Neville brand from a old film, noirs and Westerns.
And the samurai sword may or may not want revenge, uh, And also you get basically a story of prejudice between two people who have reason to hate each other and can't seem to find any common ground between them.
I mean, Twilight Zones will do that where they'll just have like a two-hander.
