Bullshot Crummond

Synopsis:
This parody of low budget 30s detective movies typifies British heroism. Teutonic villain Otto von Brunno and his evil mistress crash their plane in the english countryside and kidnap Professor Fenton who has discovered a formula for making synthetic diamonds. Bullshot Crummond is called to the rescue. Otto paralyzes Crummond with a fiendish ray. He rams a stick of dynamite in Crummond's mouth which will explode when the next person enters the room. Rosemary enters, but the static electricity in her fur wrap averts the detonation. they pursue in a hair raising car chase, but plunge over a cliff. they sneak into the dungeons where the professor is being tortured, but Crummond hopelessly loses the ensuing saber duel. Unperturbed, Crummond finally triumphs by shooting the rest of the cast.

Footlight Frenzy

Synopsis:
In a desperate attempt to save their bankrupt "School for Unusual Children", an inexperienced PTa group valiantly mounts an ambitious benefit play, written by a has been Broadway director. His near hystErical direction and the group's questionable talent turn the production into a shambles. the scenes shift back and forth from the real tribulations of the performers to the play they are "performing", and it is hard to tell which is sillier. This is fast and furious theatrical fun of the first order, with us watching the fun from the "back" of the stage!

the setting is england, 1784. Sir Toby Trollope is to be hanged by King George III for tax evasion. Toby conspires to save his neck by marrying his imbecilic son Bartholomew to a rich young woman so he can live off her father's wealth. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty! they meet, and quickly offend, england's richest man, Sir Alex Hardegristle who destroys anything he doesn't understand and his beautiful but hallucinatory daughter, Fanny. the Hardegristle madness stems from 600 years of inbreeding. In fear of their lives, the Trollopes flee england on the HMS Bounty. In the ensuing mutiny, they are thrown overboard and into the middle of the Boston Tea Party. they now meet and are quickly swindled by John Hancock, a sleazy insurance salesman; Paul Revere, a fast talking pots and pans vendor hawking his latest invention, Reverware; and George Washington with his spring loaded wooden teeth. events escalate to Lexington Green, where the Trollopes accidently spark off the American Revolution. But for these buffoons, American might have remained a peace loving British colony.
