"Execution" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It features Albert Salmi, who also plays the lead character in the Season 4 episode "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville". In 1880, a man named Joe Caswell is about to be hanged for murder. But as the noose tightens around his neck, he suddenly appears in the modern lab of Professor Manion. Manion explains that he used a time machine to randomly pluck Caswell from the past. But when Manion sees Caswell's rope burns around his neck, he attempts to send him back. The two men get into a fight, and Caswell ends up hitting Manion over the head with a heavy lamp. Caswell then tries to escape onto a busy street, but becomes so overwhelmed by the lights and the noise that he returns to the lab. Seeking the scientist's aid, he realizes that his blow has killed Manion. Then a thief, Johnson, breaks into the lab. Caswell tries to wrestle Johnson's gun from him, but Johnson ends up strangling Caswell. As Johnson tries to break into Manion's safe, he accidentally activates the time machine—and is sent back to 1880, appearing in the noose intended for Caswell, just in time to be hanged.
