Professor Coleman (John Holland) has just developed Formula D,
the only known antidote to the all poisonous G-Gas, but before he
can make any use of it, he and his daughter Susan (Dani Lynn) have been
kidnapped, which causes his son in law, C.I.D. agent Phil (Walter Stocker)
and Phil's wife Kathy (Audrey Caire) to travel to Mandoras, where the
professor is believed to be held, and find the place full of spies,
traitors, Germans (!), and strangely enough they also find Susan, who
spends her time partying ...
Soon enough though, they become involved in a shooting and all of a
sudden Phil is arrested for a murder he didn't commit. But instead of
prison, the local chief of police (Nestor Paiva) brings Phil to El
Presidente (Pedro Regas), where Phil and company learn quite a few things:
the whole country is in the grips of a madman who wants to destroy the
world in order to rule it, and who else could this madman be but ... Hitler.
According to this film, Hitler (Bill Freed) didn't die in 1945, or at
least not all of him. His head was sawed off and kept alive in a jar, and
after having taken some time off, Hitler's head obviously decided it's
time to conquer the world once more, this time with G-Gas.
Somehow, Phil, Kathy, Susan, Professor Coleman, the chief of police and
even El Presidente all manage to escape the clutches of Hitler's head,
spoil his plans of releasing G-Gas in Mandoras and in the end, they
successfully fight him and his soldiers using old-fashioned (but still
effective) hand-grenades. And in the very very end, Susan marries El
Presidente's son (Carlos Rivas).
The title of this film is probably one of the funniest in cinema
history, unfortunately the film as a whole doesn't quite live up to the
title's promise: Sure, the low budget-production methods are endearing,
and the few scenes featuring Hitler's head in a jar are hilarious and
actor Bill Freed makes his hammy best of them, but the espionage content
to accompany these scenes is a tad over-convoluted and lacks credibility
as well as brisk pacing. And the highlight of the movie, the revelation of
Hitler's head, is somewhat spoiled by the title that makes it plain
obvious that this is going to happen ... oh well, the film might not be
great, but it's still worth a chuckle or two.
By the way, the main body of the film was shot back in 1958 but never
released, and in the early 1960's, some scenes were tacked onto it that
had precious little to do with the rest of the movie and did precious
little to improve it.
