So, he decides to sit inside the banks vault during his lunch break and read in peace, but when he comes out he realizes that he is the sole survivor of a nuclear war.

In this episode a little girl has a doll named "Talky Tina". The father picks it up one day and it says to him "I'm Talky Tina, and I don't like you." Then later it says "I'm Talky Tina and I'm going to kill you." Kind of creepy isn't it?

PS If you have ever been on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disneyworld's MGM Studios, you might recognize the opening introduction from this episode and connect it with the Twilight Zone preshow.
