The Twilight Zone Recap: The Trade-Ins

An eldery couple visits a company that promises to give them younger bodies, bodies that are good for 112 years. The only problem is that the bodies are $5000 each. A bargain, to be sure, as that’s only $45 per year. But the couple only has $5000, so only one can make the switch.

The husband tries to win the money, but he isn’t a gambler. Luckily he meets a kind-hearted soul, who instead of taking his money, allows him to keep his original money, but that leaves them where they started. Since he is sick, the husband goes first, but when he sees his wife in her older body and he in his younger body, he realizes that the happiness is in being together, so he switches back to the older body.

A sweet story, but not much else.
