The Living Planet (1984)

Episode Overview

Jack admires the late violinist Janos Korda, whose music continues to surface posthumously each year. Ryan's new girlfriend, Leslie, happens to be Korda’s widow. The trio discovers that Korda is, in fact, alive but severely disfigured and crippled from a car accident that was believed to have taken his life. He relies on a cursed violin, using its lethal bow to claim victims, which allows him to regain control of his hands for a brief time. Obsessing over Leslie, he attempts to win her back. In an act of selflessness, Leslie sacrifices herself to prevent Ryan from becoming Korda's next target, leading Korda to take his own life in his grief.
