Our current edition. First verified print: size and MD5 checked against the Archive.org item in the same pass that hashed the pieces. Read the print report.

Seeders have the complete download. 0 downloading · 0 completed downloads.
Open the .torrent file in your torrent client to start. It includes the webseed. A magnet link opens your client directly; it may need peers to find the file details. No account needed.
First download? Start here
- Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
- Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
- Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
- Once it finishes, open the downloaded files. Leave the torrent in your client to share it with others.

Download not starting?
- If a magnet does nothing, open your client first or use Download .torrent and open the saved file from the client.
- If the client is waiting for metadata, try the .torrent file. It already includes the file details and available webseed fallbacks.
- Check that the torrent is not paused or queued, your destination has enough free space, and your connection is online.
- A recent seeder report is not a guarantee of a connection now. Webseeds can also be temporarily unavailable; leave the client open and try again later.
You do not need an account to download.

The Episode
William Shatner, three years before The Twilight Zone put him on a wing, as a former German soldier defusing unexploded bombs in postwar London with a child on the way. He is very good in it.
The copy we chose
Print Report
Chosen print: Archive.org item one-step-beyond-season-3 — One Step Beyond - s03e10 - The Promise.mp4, 57 MB · 21 min.
One torrent per episode, with the Archive.org item as a BEP 19 webseed alongside our seedbox and tracker. Not yet fetched, hashed or watched: the print report is completed when the file is downloaded and verified against Archive.org's published size and checksum.
Wanted: a full-length print. Every copy of this episode found on Archive.org runs about 21 minutes against the 25–26 the series normally ran, so the best available print is very likely a syndication trim rather than the broadcast cut. It ships because a short print beats no print, and a full-length copy is wanted — the report button on this page is the way to tell us about one.
Public Domain
Why It's Free
Public domain: registered as published, never renewed. World Television Programming, Inc. registered this episode with the Copyright Office as a published motion picture, which is the fact that matters most — a series that was only broadcast and syndicated was never published, never needed renewing, and would still be protected today. The registration line reads: The promise. 27 min. © 29Nov60; LP17893. (the text layer misreads this as LP1S444; the page scan reads LP17893)
No renewal was filed in the 28th year. The check is not a search for this episode's title, which can be spelled differently on the record than on air; it is a sweep of the Copyright Office's post-1978 records for the claimant's own filings, which returns exactly twelve renewals across the whole series and does not include this one. Underneath, the teleplay is original — no renewal surfaced under any credited writer — and Harry Lubin's theme returned no renewal under composer or title, so unlike most vintage television nothing survives in the music.
