On 16 December 1976, in Virginia, Norma Lewis finds a box in her front door early in the morning. Her husband Arthur Lewis opens the box and finds a button unit with a letter inside telling that Mr. Stewart would visit them in the evening. Along the day, Norma that is a teacher of the Libby Hill is humiliated by a student due to the deformation on her foot and then she is informed by her principal that the board had canceled the faculty tuition discount. Meanwhile, her husband that works in NASA in the design of a powerful camera receives a letter informing that his application to astronaut position has been rejected. In the evening, a creepy man with a deformed face introduces himself to Norma as Arlington Steward (Frank Langella) and gives an envelope with a key to open the glass dome of the button unit and tells her that she has twenty-four hours to decide whether she presses the button or not. If she presses the button, someone somewhere in the world would die and she would receive a payment of one million dollars cash. The reluctant Norma and Arthur do not believe on Stewart and Norma presses the button, changing their lives forever.

Veteran character actor, Basil Hoffman, was also in the original version of this story when it aired as "Button, Button" on the new Twilight Zone in 1986.
