A man falls asleep in his car in a parking lot during a snow storm and wakes up trapped. Battery dead, doors frozen shut, windows covered in ice, and desperately running out of food, water and places to relieve himself.

A young psychiatrist from the far future travels back in time to witness the events that caused Hitler's rise to power, firsthand, in order to fully document the events and conditions that lead to the creation of one of the most evil men in history. His goals are an attempt to better understand and prevent the creation of evil.

However, while traveling with a young Hitler on his way to an art school he causes a small misunderstanding which result Hitler being stabbed to death.

The psychiatrist then realizes that in order to protect the timeline and preserve history, he'll have to become the man Hitler was destined to.

The philosophers say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just ask Dr. Montag, a man who once dedicated himself to the understanding of the nature of evil who is now forced to silently live in infamy as history's greatest monster. A road to hell, that crosses through, The Twilight Zone...

A modern man of the 1980s name Jerry is taken to an estate sale by his fiancee Kelly for some antiquing as they plan their marriage.

While the pair are lazily disdainful of most of the tacky and untrendy furniture, Jerry eyes a collection of vintage Men's Adventure-style magazines within an ancient looking trunk and negotiates for both. Kelly is both offended and amused by the purchase, calling them misogynistic and bigoted semi-literature of a bygone and prejudiced era, matter-of-factly assuming they're going to be disposed of in the garbage once he gets home.

Jerry admits the trunk is fairly nice though, and it can likely be restored and worth a fortune.

That night, Jerry takes an opportunity to glance at the repeating covers of the magazines, hit with images of manly men and sexy women in outrageous danger from everything from "Sex Cult Kidnappers of Romania" to "Man-Eating Wolves of Russian Wilderness" to "I Escaped a Nazi Torture Camp".

He wakes up the next morning to finds himself in an unfamiliar room with a familiar looking man across from him: Adolf Hitler and a team of interrogators.

After blacking out again and waking up, he uncharacteristically punches a Nazi soldier in the jaw, steals his weapon and kills everyone in the room as Hitler escapes. Dashing through the halls he finds himself in an opium den in China, run by a legion of smugglers. Thinking this is a bad dream, he tries to wake himself before he's assaulted.

Meanwhile, Kelly visits his apartment to find him gone, and the old magazines splayed out all over the floor. Disgusted with them, she piles them all up with the intent of throwing them out, until she notices how much the dangerous hero on one of the covers looks like her fiancee. Flipping through more and more of them, she discovers her fiancee's face is now on almost all of them.

She starts reading the story of "The Scorpion Gangs of Sri Lanka -- Venom, Villains and Vice!", a cover story from one of the magazines where it looks like her fiancee is being sacrificed on some pagan altar and realizes that the dialogue in the story is full of cries of, "Help me, I'm not supposed to be here! Why can't I wake up!" from a character with his name. Horrified and confused by what is happening, and she grabs as many as she can and throws them into her car and rushes home.

The man in the is at his wit's end, he finds himself surviving one ordeal after another and is now in a new one. He glares at his reflection in a puddle and realizes he's got the same haggard look of the man from the cover who was beset by murderous "Crocodiles of the Cuban Bay - Latin Love Leads to a Lethal Lake!"

Horrified at the rustling sound behind him, he's tackled by a toothy croc and is forced to wrestle it for dear life beneath the water.

Kelly has been reading Jerry's exploits that evening with a mix of fear, revulsion, embarrassment and arousal, becoming lost in the stories herself. Eventually, she finds herself passing out and the pair find themselves reunited, but trapped, in the 'true story' of "She-Pirates of South China Seas -- Those that they didn't kill begged for death!"

3 months later, another estate sale is occurring, but now at at Kelly's apartment. A neatly bearded old college professor and his wife are picking at knicknacks at the sale when he notices the kitschy old magazines in a box and offers to buy them. The wife examines them for a moment and points out how the titles of the stories seem like the most imaginative parts, commenting that the cover artists couldn't even provide much imagination to the designs of the characters. Even the husband notes they look like the same two people on every one.

Driving off the pair laugh it off. "Imagine how hellish it would be if it WERE the same two people having to live through all those horrible experiences! Ha ha ha!"

"Wait, why would the US Government be saving the DNA of DAVE HESTER?!"
"Well, by that token, why the hell would they be saving the DNA of ADOLF HITLER?! Any and all practical applications for it are VERY few and are almost guaranteed to have horrific results!"
"'Horrific results'?! Whose side are you fuckin' on?!"
"Listen, everyone shut up! What are we gonna do with a clone of Dave Hester is the important thing! We've got people who've been expecting us to unleash the new Hitler on the world! What the hell are we going to do!? Start trying to pitch "Storage Fuhrers" to A&E?!"
"That's just stupid, he's not even Hitler! Calling it that doesn't even make any sense!"

An up and coming genocidal dictator is upset that he's always compared to Adolf Hitler and never really acknowledged for his war crimes on their own merits. He laments that it's a shame he can't ever compete with Hitler directly to prove he's the better madman.

While passing an internet cafe, he's offered a chance to play Hitler in a game of Starcraft with the stakes being to replace Hitler as THE most evil leader of all time or to die the unknown and unsung death of so many other wannabe warmongers.

He beats Hitler in Starcraft, and he's super excited about usurping Hitler's title of 'The Worst" as Hitler packs up his stuff with a wry smile. The new guy is already planning and prepping for his future, being a dick to Hitler. I mean, he's really digging into Adolph, there. Just taking it a bit too far. Just before Hitler walks out the door, he turns to give the new guy a bit of a pep talk and admits there being no shame in being beaten by the best, offering the man his hand.

Pulling the man in close, Hitler starts stabbing him repeatedly, calling him a pigfucking hacker who must have been using cheats, and lets the guy bleed out onto the floor while he goes back to his internet terminal and starts posting online.

The inventor friend of a struggling comedian builds a time machine to go back in time to 1995 so he can give him the best comedy bits of the last 20 years so he won't be such a failure in life.

However, he finds that he's struggling now even worse than before with the new material in 1995. In fact, people are getting extremely hateful towards him and his unpopular and ahead-of-its-time comedy and the new bits that in a fit of depression the younger comedian kills himself.

Dejected, the inventor makes a correction to an equation: Comedy -Time = Tragedy.

In the future, everyone must take career aptitude tests to best determine what jobs they have the most interest and aptitude for, and they have their career path determined solely on what the government allows them to pursue.

However, the twist is that the system makes sure everyone is forced down a career path they'll be completely unhappy with. The future is so pro-capitalist that any and all work you do will only ever be 'just for the money' to reinforce this.

A young writer named Harlan Ellison time travels to the mid-80s and watches a film called Terminator. He goes back in time and writes a couple of Outer Limits stories inspired by it.

Years later, James Cameron writes a movie called Terminator, inspired by some old Outer Limits episode and Ellison sues him for idea theft for the stories "Soldier" and "Demon with the Glass Hand."

The twist is Cameron was actually inspired by an episode written by Anthony Lawrence called "The Man Who Never Was", not Harlan Ellison's.
