Shane Stevens

The Sliders arrive in a remote military compound, which seems to be abandoned. Scanning the landscape, Diana (Tembi Locke) believes they're not on Earth, but on a planet that exists in hyperspace. As they investigate their surroundings, they are unaware that soldiers in tattered uniforms are watching them surreptitiously...

In a world reminiscent of America in the roaring '20s, Harrell ( Shane Stevens) encounters Brownie (Cleavant Derricks), a cop, in the alley outside the Hippo Club where he plays the piano. Brownie shoots him with his service revolver and searches his pockets. Unable to find what he's looking for, he leaves in disgust. Nearby, the vortex opens, and the Sliders emerge. A scream pierces the air, and they hurry to the alley to find Angie Morgan (Jennifer Leigh Warren), owner of the Hippo Club, kneeling over Harrell's body.
