The Outer Limits
WOLF 359
Directed by Laslo Bendek
Written by Seeleg Lester


Professor Jonathan Wragg reproduces a planet in miniature and introduces the DNA factor: life. Evolutionary forces on the planet progress at such a rate that life on the small planet soon advances in time to the present day.

Further evolution, beyond the present, reveals what life on Earth has in store for mankind. Electronic photos of the microcosm's "future" show the existence of a grotesque, violent monster on the planet.

The creature escapes the laboratory and attacks the scientist. Wragg's quick-witted wife, witnessing the attack, goes into action to save her husband and possibly the world.

NOTE: Prolific actor Dabney Coleman, who starred in the controversial 1980s sitcom Buffalo Bill and played the evil boss in the hit film comedy 9 to 5, among his many other works, also appeared in the first-season Outer Limits episodes "The Mice" and "Specimen: Unknown."

(Original Airdate: November 7, 1964)
