The Mysterious
Traveler: “The Big Brain” 3/14/50
As an experiment, a scientist uses an experimental
super-computer (the Big Brain) to predict the winners at the horse track. That
leads to the temptation to place a few bets, which in turn leads him to be
blackmailed by a gangster.
To get out from under the thumb of the gangster, the
scientist attempts to find out if the Big Brain can be used to plan the perfect
murder.
The ending is a little too willing to absolve the scientist of
his moral responsibility for his actions, but it’s a well-plotted episode
nonetheless.
