The
Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man,"
aired March 2, 1962.
An
alien race, the Kanamit, have come to earth. Mankind is overjoyed
when they discover these visitors from another universe
are well intentioned and kind. They provide great knowledge to cure
disease, end war, and produce cheap power. After
a meeting at the United Nations, a Kanamit accidentally leaves a
book behind, and mankind seizes the opportunity to
learn
the Kanamit language. Michael Chambers, a U.S. decoding expert,
immediately begins the long and laborious effort to
translate
the alien tongue. Countless hours later, Mr. Chambers is thrilled
to discover the title of the book reads, "To Serve
Man."
The human race rejoices in the revelation that the Kanamits are
here to serve them. Mr.
Chambers, along with thousands of other humans, book trips to visit
the Kanamit's home planet. Just
as Mr. Chamber is about to board the ship, his assistant breaks
through the crowd and begs him not to board. She has
discovered
the true intention of the book: It's a cookbook! Mr. Chambers is
shoved onto the ship as the title, "To Serve
Man" takes on
a whole new meaning.
