Will he succeed or will that pesky love bug get in the way of "Plan X"?

While the doctor is away, a monstrous moth will play! An play he does as he traps the hapless scientist's wife and the grocery boy in the laboratory. I bet these two wish they had paid more attention in biology class as they match wits with "The Insect".

Sometimes, science fiction has the science part pegged as in today's story from Dimension X. It aired on July first, 1950 and predicted that we would have home computers connected to the Internet and they would operate within logical parameters and make decision through the use of artificial intelligence. The show optimistically envisoned this would occur in 1974, but otherwise all was fairly spot on. It's too bad that in this story, the "logics" inform people with how to get away with murder. Who's in charge here, anyway? Could it be "A Logic Named Joe"?
