Plot summary
Clips from decades of B movies are gathered into themed sections, and comedians step in front of the screen between them to introduce what follows. One section looks at gorilla pictures, another at anti-marijuana films, and another at giants and tiny people; the movies' monsters, aliens and brain stories get sections of their own. A salute to Edward D. Wood, Jr. collects moments from his work, and a section of coming attractions shows old trailers. Musical numbers, rampaging animals, teenagers in trouble and technical marvels round out the tour, which draws on titles released between the late 1920s and the late 1970s.
