I don't remember an episode like that, but we're talking about a show
from 50 years ago.

(I bought the DVD set, but haven't watched it yet...when I get a round
tuit...)

The episode I do remember was "Dragon's Domain", which scared the
bejasus out of me as a youngster.  Pretty gruesome for broadcast
TV -- a monster eats people and spits out the smoldering corpses.
