BEHOLDER MEANING SERIES

The doctor becomes displeased and questions why Janet or anyone must be judged on their outer beauty. As he prepares, the nurse says that she still is uneasy about Janet's appearance. Unable to bear the bandages any longer, Janet pleads with the doctor and eventually convinces him to remove them early. The outcome of the procedure cannot be known until the bandages are removed. Her head is completely bandaged so that her face is entirely covered, and her face is described as a 'pitiful twisted lump of flesh' by the nurses and doctor, lurking in the shadows of the darkened hospital room. Janet Tyler has undergone her eleventh treatment (the maximum number legally allowed) in an attempt to look normal. This happens to be the Twilight Zone, and Miss Janet Tyler, with you, is about to enter it. Keeping in mind of course that we are not to be surprised by what we see, because this isn't just a hospital, and this patient 307 is not just a woman. In a moment we will go back into this room, and also in a moment we will look under those bandages. A universe whose dimensions are the size, thickness, length of the swath of bandages that cover her face.

Suspended in time and space for a moment, your introduction to Miss Janet Tyler, who lives in a very private world of darkness. It originally aired on November 11, 1960, on CBS.
