"''King Nine'' Will Not Return" is the season two premiere episode, and 37th overall, of the American television anthology series ''The Twilight Zone''. It originally aired on September 30, 1960 on CBS. This was the first episode where Rod Serling appeared on camera at the beginning, rather than introducing the episode in a voice-over narration. ==Plot== The World War II B-25 Mitchell bomber ''King Nine'' has crashed in the desert. Captain James Embry finds himself stranded, alone except for the wreckage and the mystery of what happened to his crew, all of whom have disappeared. The movement of the plane in the wind and his visions of the missing men serve to heighten Embry's disorientation. Embry finds the grave of one of his crewmen and sees, in the sky, Navy F9F Cougar (Blue Angels) jets, impossible for the time. He collapses in the sand, and we discover that he is apparently suffering hallucinations from a hospital bed, 17 years after the crash. Confident that Embry will recover, two doctors discuss that Embry's suffering has been triggered by a newspaper headline. The paper has reported the desert discovery of the long-lost ''King Nine,'' which had not returned to base from a mission during the war. Having come down with a fever just before he was to board the ill-fated flight, Embry had been replaced on the mission by another captain. Embry's sight of the headline has triggered survivor guilt, in which, we are to understand, he has imagined himself at the crash site. The doctors assure Embry he has returned to the site only in his mind. However, a nurse, handling Embry's clothes for the doctors, discovers his shoes are mysteriously filled with sand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King Nine Will Not Return」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
