Eccentric professor Jonathan Jones (Tom Poston) discovers a magical amulet which can be used to slow down time, inflict pain, or bring about instant death. When foreign agents seek to steal the amulet for their own gain, Jones, accompanied by his colleague Professor Fenster (Julia Meade), must protect it. With support from Jim Backus and Margaret Dumont, and a screenplay by Ray Russell, Zotz! is a delightful mixture of slapstick and satire. (Powerhouse Films)
