Episode 3 - Your Place or Mayan?

Airdate: 18 October 1985

The episode opens with a black and white adventure movie set in South America and flips back and forth between the movie and a man dressed in adventurer's clothes running through LA. Each of the near misses in the movie matches one that the man encounters. Some of the pairing are amusing -- a jaguar leaps out of the jungle in the movie, and in real life the man is almost hit by a Jaguar car. Both men are killed in the end and the Misfit's opening starts the episode.
