    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      Pulling the emergency stop cord on a train doesn't set the brakes, but merely alerts the engine crew to the fact that someone wants the train to stop. Additionally, if the freight train was "only 100 yards in front of the passenger train when the stop was pulled- there would be no time at all to stop from speed.

    Skeptical Arthur and his encounter with weirdness.

    "One Step Beyond" was an old TV series that dealt with the supernatural. To enjoy it the most, it would help if you believe in things like ESP, precognition and the like. I don't...but still found "Emergency Only" entertaining and worth seeing.

    At a dinner party, Arthur Douglas is introduced to a woman who can apparently see the future. He thinks she's a phony and encourages her to tell him his future...just so he can laugh when none of it comes true. Amazingly, however, just the opposite happens...it ALL comes true and it scares the pants off Artie!

    The reason this one worked was that it was so well written...especially the surprise ending. Overall, this one is worth seeing...whether you are a skeptic (yup) or not. And, all the episodes are available for free download from archive.org....a site often linked to IMDB.
