The Twilight Zone Recap: The Fever
Upon visiting Las Vegas, Franklin Gibbs immediately declares that it is immoral. But when a stranger pushes a silver dollar into his hand and asks him to play a slot machine, he figures that he must do so. When he wins, he naturally must walk away. It is the prudent thing to do.
But then the machine begins calling his name in the middle of the night, and the moral thing to do is to get rid of the ill-gotten gains, to put them back where they came from. But then The Fever takes hold and he has to write check after check to try and get back some of what he has lost and after 24 hours of playing he suddenly throws himself out of a window to his death.
