The Twilight Zone Recap: The Gift

Little Pedro has a new friend, only this friend isn’t from around town, he’s from outer space, and he’s been injured by a few bullets. The doctor has helped by taking the bullets out of his body, but he shouldn’t even be alive. And now the police are coming to pick him up and everyone is nervous. Pedro’s friend has given him a gift, but he’s told him not to open it right now, to wait until things have died down.

In the end, Pedro’s friend is shot in the street and the gift is burned because it is from Satan, but the doctor picks it up and can just make out part of it, where it reads “People of Earth, this is our gift to you, a cure for cancer…” but then the rest of it is burned. So in our fear we killed no only this one man, but the dream of a cure for cancer.
