Aboard a commercial airplane, passenger Bob Wilson tries to relax after being discharged from a sanatorium. But as the flight progresses, he notices a figure on the wing of the plane. Bob rubs his eyes in disbelief, but the figure remains. He tries to get the attention of the other passengers and crew, but they dismiss him as a delusional passenger. As night falls and thunderstorms shake the plane, the figure becomes more sinister, threatening to cause a crash that would kill everyone on board. Bob must find a way to confront the figure and save the plane before it's too late. The episode is a thrilling exploration of madness and the fear of the unknown, punctuated by a stellar performance from William Shatner as Bob Wilson.
