ABC-TV picked up this failed pilot (a proposed revival of The Time Tunnel) and aired it as a made-for-TV movie in which Dr. Clinton Earnshaw and his government-sent sidekick Jeff Adams venture back to 1871 to track down a cure for a modern-day epidemic.

  1. According to Wikipedia Charles Willard Byrd is allowed to claim uncredited credit for the story, which was based on his unpublished 1959 novel A Time to Live. The IMDb lists producer Irwin Allen as an uncredited writer, probably because he developed the original idea as a pilot for a tv show.
