The Outer Limits

This quirky episode tells the story of a 2-dimensional being trapped in our 3-dimensional world. Though he has four eyes, Eck's faulty vision prompts a desperate search for a certain lens made from meteoric quartz. Only with these "glasses" can he see his escape route from Earth -- a dimensional tear that could spell doom for all mankind. Starring '60s TV personality Peter Lind Hayes, "Behold, Eck!" features on of the series' most sympathetic aliens. Joan Freeman and Parley Baer also star.
