Bill Russo's video: Science Fiction Theatre: The Magic Suitcase 1956 S2 E37

This is one of the last episodes of the 78 presented on S F T and the producers made sure they were going out on a high note when they made this entry, called The Magic Suitcase.

He said that he would drive him down the mountain and on to his destination, the next day. But in the morning, the man is gone. He left a suitcase behind – a tiny suitcase that holds more power inside it than an entire coal-fired electric generating plant.

The tales usually related to the life or work of scientists, engineers, inventors, and explorers. The program concentrated on such concepts as space flight, robots, telepathy, flying saucers, time travel, and the intervention
