Host John Newland once again beckons us into the "unknown" world of psychic phenomena as One Step Beyond begins its third season. The opening episode is based on actual events, as wheelchair-bound Margaret North (Jean Allison) hears a radio bulletin announcing that a huge tidal wave is rapidly approaching her Hawaiian beach home. Miles from her nearest neighbor, the helpless Margaret is unable to alert anyone of her plight--but she hasn't taken into account the power of "thought transference." The real Margaret North appears at the end of this episode, which was later refilmed as the pilot for the sequel TV series The Next Step Beyond.
