Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Ruthlessly efficient businessman Wallace V. Whipple (Richard Deacon) runs roughshod over the feelings of his employees when he elects to fully automate his factory. Installing computers and robots, Whipple drives longtime worker Dickerson (Ted de Corsia) to take desperate measures to protect his job. Without giving away the ending, it is worth noting that Robby the Robot, of Forbidden Planet fame, makes a cameo appearance. Written by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling, "The Brain Center at Whipple's" was originally telecast on May 15, 1964.
