==Opening narration==
:"Hollywood, 1939. Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling, young movie town at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right; a beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that."
In the lobby of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, 5 people (Gilbert London, Carolyn Crosson, Emeline Partridge, Sally "Sally Shine" Gregory and Dewey Todd) board one of the elevators. As they ascend, the hotel is suddenly struck by a large bolt of lightning and whole wings of the building vanish including the one carrying their elevator. The 5 guests are electrified as they disappear into thin air and the elevator plummets. As the second half of the narration begins, we see the elevator, as well as the hotel, have been put out of commission since the accident.
The camera then pans to the Twilight Zone narrator in the hotel boiler room with a service elevator behind him.
