Bob Wilson (played by [[William Shatner]]) is a salesman on an airplane with his wife for the first time since his nervous breakdown six months prior. As he stares out his window on a a stormy night, he thinks he spots a supposed gremlin on the wing of the plane. But, every time someone else looks out the window, the gremlin always leaps out of view, so nobody believes Bob's seemingly outlandish claim. Bob realizes that his wife is starting to think he needs to go back to the sanitarium, but after he sees the gremlin begin to peel back the metal on the wing he realizes that if nothing is done about the gremlin, it will cause the plane to crash. The flight attendant tries to give Bob sleeping pills, but Bob fakes swallowing them so he can stay up and do something about the gremlin. Bob then steals a sleeping policeman's revolver, and opens the window marked "Auxiliary Exit" to shoot the gremlin, succeeding despite the fact that he is nearly blown out of the plane himself. Once the plane has landed, although he is whisked away in a straitjacket, a final shot reveals evidence of his claims: the unusual damage to the plane's engine nacelle—yet to be discovered by mechanics.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[Episode
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Jump Scare]]: The scene in which Bob pulls the curtain back quickly, revealing the gremlin's face pressed against the window along with a [[Scare Chord]].
* [[Large Ham]]: When you have [[William Shatner]] playing the main character...
Line 16:
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: Then again, the gremlin is just a man in a fuzzy suit.
* [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]
* [[
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: Well fancy that, someone with a gun on an airplane, in plain sight. Needless to say this episode wouldn't really work nowadays.
