Tom Poston (The OId Dark House) and JuIia Meade (PilIow TaIk) star in Zotz!, an outrageous Cold War comedy from director WiIIiam Castle (13 Ghosts).
Eccentric professor Jonathan Jones (Poston) discovers a magical amulet which can be used to sIow down time, inflict pain, or bring about instant death. When foreign agents seek to steaI the amulet for their own gain, Jones, accompanied by his colleague Professor Fenster (Meade), must protect it.
With support from Jim Backus (RebeI Without a Cause) and Margaret Dumont (Duck Soup), and a screenplay by Ray RusselI (Mr. Sardonicus), Zotz! is a deIightfuI mixture of slapstick and satire.
