Just watched the whole show. I love those old Twilight Zone episodes. Burgess Meredith is very believable as the devil.

This is a good one. A little less dark than a lot of them- the protagonist actually outwits the Devil. In a lot of them everyone gets fucked- the end.

Yeah, he pulled a win out of his hat at the last second. Not only saved his girlfriend, but voided his contract with the devil. I like happy endings. :)
