Ruthless Mr. Ramsie, president of the company, is determined to oust Sloane whose humanitarian outlook Ramsie feels is the enemy of big business. This drama of the power struggles amongst the executives of a large company was so highly reguarded at the time of it's first broadcast that it was repeated, live, four weeks later (on February 9.) Rod Serling received an Emmy for his teleplay. In 1956 a feature film based on this teleplay and with the same title was produced. Everett Sloane, Ed Begley, Elizabeth Wilson and several other cast members reprised their roles in the big screen version.
