Why are so many old people dying of starvation - yet their pockets are stuffed with money? Based on a story by H.L. Gold, this episode of X Minus One originally aired on July 17, 1956.

X Minus One premiered in April 1955 on NBC and ran until January 1958. Like its predecessor series, Dimension X, X Minus One featured stories by the greatest names in modern science fiction: Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Clifford Simak, Robert Bloch, and many more.
