Night Gallery - 3x04 - Rare Objects

    A mobster (played by Mickey Rooney!) is shot in an attempt on his life.  The doctor who patches him up refers him to a man who can help him retire from mob life safely.
    This script was written by Serling, who usually has good ideas, and his writing is solid, but tends to suffer under the pressure to create.  And this one does too.  It jumps around a bit more than expected, especially for a story that moves as slowly as this.  From the first five minutes, I didn't know where it would go during the next five, and so forth.  I wasn't sure if this was intentional or not.
    Of course, the story leads up to a twist.  The twist wasn't what I was expecting, since it seemed a little too science-fiction for the plot that had been building up.  Because of the out-of-the-blue quality, it isn't that satisfying.
