"Mr. Denton on Doomsday" is the third episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. This is the first The Twilight Zone episode to be rerun.
Washed-up gunslinger Al Denton is given another chance by a mysterious man by the name of Henry J. Fate, who offers him a potion guaranteed to make him the fastest gun in the West for ten seconds. Facing a young gunfighter named Pete Grant, who rode into town looking for a duel, Denton downs his vial of the potion only to find his opponent holding an identical bottle. Each man shoots the other in the hand, causing injuries that will never allow them to use a gun again. Afterwards, Denton tells his young opponent that they have both been blessed because they will never again be able to fire a gun in anger. Finally, Denton and Miss Smith see Henry J. Fate quietly ride out of town...
Announcer: "And now, Mr. Serling."
This episode is one of very few in the series whose opening sequence features an eye with heavy mascara.
