Way Out was a show of the type like Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond, or Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I was only a kid, but I watched it fairly regularly and enjoyed it. The opening showed a hand coming out of dirt and then being consumed by flames- very dramatic; and a little scary for a kid. The one episode that really sticks out in my mind was of the hen-pecked photographer with the nagging wife. When the were young, she was very attractive but he was a homely type in appearance. He invented/found a photo correction solution that when you used it to correct photos, whatever was corrected became like that in real life. So, to get back at his wife, he took a photo of her and made her gradually look ugly over a period of years; and he made himself look younger and more handsome. This really rankled her. The one day, she caught him correcting his photo, and realized what he had been doing. She attacked him and made him drop the bottle on the floor and the solution spilled on his photo. In his haste to recover the priceless solution, he stepped on the photo with his shoe; and when he raised his head up, his face had a big shoe print on it, and the solution was gone.
