As an homage to the ultra-low-budget, drive-in-friendly, science fiction movies of the 1950s and early 1960s (think Ed Wood), this is the unlikely story of a meteor shower that deposits an ore called "atmosphereum" in the hills outside Los Angeles in 1961, attracting the scientific interest of a heroic scientist who hopes to use the scientific value of the ore for his science project, and whose wife joins him on the expedition.

What he soon finds out is that a pair of aliens (from the planet Marva in outer space!) are also after the atmosphereum as fuel for their space ship (out of which a dangerous space mutant has escaped). Also in the area is an evil scientist exploring the mysterious Cadavra Cave, reportedly home to the legendary Lost Skeleton, who discovers he also needs the atmosphereum to revive the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra; and along the way, he uses the Marvan's transmutatron ray to meld four local animals into a beautiful mate for himself.

Supreme shock sensation of our time.

"A '50s sci-fi spoof that's a silly hit to the funny bone." - Hollywood Reporter

"...a cheerfully trashy, dead-on spoof of the B-movie genre..." - New York Post

"Inspired, inventive and funnier than it has a right to be..." - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
