The Rip Van Winkle Caper

About this episode

Nicole and Peter discuss a Twilight Zone episode involving crooks who enter suspended animation to hide their stolen gold.

Four crooks hatch a brilliant scheme to throw people off the trail of their stolen gold: they’ll enter suspended animation for 100 years and come out to spend lavishly when the coast is clear. What could possibly go wrong? Nicole and Peter will push the button on this episode and discuss proper water drinking, beehive theft, and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. We hope you’ll join us.
