An eccentric scientist has an invention witch turns objects to stone. A ring on his finger can turn people to statues but they retain their minds.
After turning most of his awful family to stone, he heads on out in to the night and meets the lovely Meg. Together they go off and turn various people and even police cars to stone.
Taking refuge in a museum they are in a room of statues of various gods.
They wonder that if the gods returned today, would they be able to handle modern life. They then start bringing the statues of the gods to real life and take them partying out on the town...
Almost at one time a lost film, the movie has appeared once more but only in very poor prints. Still good to see the film and I enjoyed it.
The film is played as comedy and it never lets up on the banter and is sometimes quite loud and rattles along at a nice pace.
So glad I have seen this now. I waited so long to see a print.
