The Twilight Zone - Season 5, Episode 18: Black Leather Jackets

Trailer

Three leather-jacketed motorcyclists converge upon a small town and immediately take up residence in a vacant house. Though everyone considers the cyclists to be nice, quiet boys, they are in fact the vanguard of an invading army from a hostile planet. Things get dicey when one of the 'boys' (Lee Kinsolving) falls in love with Earthling Ellen Tillman (Shelley Fabares). In his haste to come up with an intriguing gimmick, Twilight Zone scripter Earl Hamner failed to answer a vital question -- if the three invaders hoped to blend in and avoid drawing attention to their activities, why did they dress up like second-rate Marlon Brandos? Denver Pyle, Irene Hervey, and Michael Conrad play key supporting roles in 'Black Leather Jackets,' which originally aired January 31, 1964.
