| - Astronaut Cook crash lands on a strange planet with gravity and atmospheric conditions similar to those on his home world. Most of his equipment is put out of commission by the crash and he cannot repair it due to a broken arm and lack of resources. Shortly afterwards, he learns that his home world has embarked on a catastrophic nuclear war. Eventually he finds a woman from another species who tells him her name is Norda. They cannot understand each other's language, but she communicates through sketches drawn in the sand and by pantomime that she is also stranded; her planet had left its orbit and she had survived. In his last transmission, Cook's superior back home named General Larrabee tells him that there may be no survivors when the war is over, so he can expect no rescue, and comments on how he hopes his new world is more peaceful. After that, Cook decides to explore the planet and is joined by Norda. Together, they embark for a more fertile area, which Cook describes as looking like a "garden". He fully introduces himself as "Adam Cook" and Norda gives her full name as "Norda Eve". Adam and Eve begin a new life on this planet she calls "Irth", which Adam pronounces as Earth. At this point she even offers him a "seppla", which appears to be a very familiar "forbidden fruit". As they venture further, Rod Serling narrates that even he presumes that the place they are heading to is Eden.
