AMAZING STORIES: ALAMO JOBE (TV)

Summary

One in this fantasy anthology series. In this drama, a brave 15-year-old named Jobe, fighting alongside Davy Crockett in the Alamo, finds himself propelled into the future just as he is about to be shot by enemy soldiers. Jobe was given an important message to deliver from Col. Travis to Gen. Lefferts shortly before his involuntary trip through time; and though he is bewildered by the buses, telephones, and souvenir shops of the San Antonio of 1985, he continues on with his mission to find the general, soon finding himself in a high-speed chase with the police. Commercials deleted.
