Janet Tyler has undergone her eleventh treatment (the maximum number legally allowed) in an attempt to look normal. Tyler is first shown with her head completely bandaged so that her face cannot be seen. Her face is described as a "pitiful twisted lump of flesh" by the nurses and doctor, whose own faces are always in shadows or off-camera. The outcome of the procedure cannot be known until the bandages are removed. Unable to bear the bandages any longer, Tyler pleads with the doctor and eventually convinces him to remove them early. As he prepares, the doctor develops great empathy for Tyler. The nurse verbally expresses concern for the doctor and that she still is uneasy of Tyler's appearance. The doctor becomes displeased and questions why Tyler or anyone must be judged on their outer beauty. The nurse warns him not to continue in that vein as it is considered treason. The doctor removes the bandages. The procedure has failed, and her face has undergone no change. The camera pulls back to reveal that she is actually attractive (by the contemporary viewer's standards) and the doctor, nurses and other people in the hospital have large, thick brows, sunken eyes, swollen and twisted lips, and wrinkled noses with extremely large nostrils. Distraught by the failure of the procedure, Tyler runs through the hospital as what is considered normal in this alternate society "state" are revealed. Flat-screen televisions throughout the hospital project an image of the State's leader giving a speech calling for greater conformity. Eventually, a handsome man (again, by the contemporary viewer's standards) named Walter Smith arrives to take the crying, despondent Tyler into exile to a village of her "own kind", where her "ugliness" will not trouble the State. Before the two leave, Smith comforts Tyler, saying that she will find love and belonging in the ghetto and that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

exactly

[@TheCaptainSplatter]

Not sure if ghetto would be the right word, at least today.

[@kingsizeblues616]

What made you feel the need to document this? Genuinely curious.

[@thenaturalhuman9568]

bard icus 😂

[@zarthy4169]

Were flatscreen televisions even a thing when this was made? Did they predict flatscreen televisions?

"This is Mr. Smith - he's a gorgeous Hollywood actor...ironically, we think he's ugly, but in the final plot twist you get to be his mate."

[@volkerball85]

This shit gave me nightmares as a kid. Looking back now, it's just silly. :P

[@patricparamedic9057]

It ain't that silly. Have you read the book, "The Paramedic Heretic?" Modern medicine is flat-out scary.

[@kingsizeblues616]

Yeah, I dont think he was referring to modern medicine bud, more, ya know, the actual video... Visuals and the like...

[@zevfarkas5120]

Looks like they got the idea for Tonks' makeup/cgi from this.

[@dr.strangebat9397]

I'm glad she's gonna live with him. There's no way in heck should I have to look at those faces!

[@monicacasillas3494]

nice episode

[@takana5927]

The revenge of the pigs!

[@flyboysteven9979]

Wonder what these peoples' attitude is about pigs?...like if they were to hold a pig up next to their face, what would they say? "Meet your uncle Arnold?"

[@morusque]

Possibly, I don't know. I still think their faces are quite far from those of pigs.

[@beachgirl4583]

They are definitely pig like.

[@jewel8315]

Hmm...I haven't watched this episode yet, think I might do that.

[@ironmaster6496]

Jewel Bass you already spoiled yourself the big reveal so there isn't much of a point now

[@patrickobrien8060]

[@sarashields9079]

That is the fucking purpose for this short clips????

[@morusque]

hello, I noticed most twilight zone episodes have a pretty concise plot and just fill the blanks to fit within the usual ~20m episodes, so I wanted to experiment with that, editing some of them to keep only the most significant parts. Most of the stories can usually be summed up in less than one minute. (assuming your question started with "What")
