Адвокат Ли Барретт возвращается к выполнению обязанностей своей предыдущей должности главы охраны сверхсекретной военной лаборатории «Станция-3», расположенной в калифорнийской пустыне. Ему сообщают, что внутрь лаборатории пробрались злоумышленники и украли вирус под названием «Satan bug», который способен уничтожить все живое на земле. Барретт предполагает, что вор должен очень хорошо знать лабораторию. В конце концов, он обнаруживает, что за похищением вируса стоит безумный миллионер, выдававший себя за ученого. Теперь он угрожает выпустить вирус на волю в Лос-Анджелесе, если лаборатория не будет демонтирована…

In this movie filmed and released in 1961 (and not a 1962 production), an escaped convict returns to town and begins a reign of terror. Marked for death are Dr. Dean Knudtson, his wife Janice, formerly married to the killer, and Jeff Baxley, on whose testimony the man was originally sent to prison. Sheriff Charles Morton and deputy Sam Freed head a posse tracking down the killer in the desert. The man is found dead of the wounds inflicted by a prison guard trying to prevent his escape. The sheriff resigns his job and heads west with Joan. Written by Les Adams

WWII Burma...Six paratroopers undertake an extremely dangerous mission against the Japanese. It will ultimately cost them their lives, except for one "lucky" survivor.

A loving evocation of a time and environment that may have slipped away. Valma, verging on midlife, wants a baby with her partner Joe, who is a gentle, loving and well-meaning wannabe writer, but who has had absolutely no success in achieving self-sustainability, and is far from a good prospect as a reliable father. Even when he tries really hard, he finds himself in the job from hell ('a chicken factory? - is that where they make chickens?'). Alphonse is a 'businessman' who has 'a new business every year'. This year his main income comes from arranging 'marriages of convenience' ("when was marriage ever convenient??" - Alphonse) to help new immigrants fast-track to Australian residency and citizenship.
