Unlike in the original short story of “
The Twonky,” the movie’s mad
machine is a TV rather than a radio. Also, we never explicitly see the machine’s
construction by a time traveler, but the professor’s discussions with the coach make it
clear that
they believe the machine is from the future, and that’s good enough
for us. And finally, when you watch the wacky film, you’ll see that
Arch Oboler devised a different fate for the Twonky than that of
Kuttner and
Moore’s original story.
