The Yesterday Machine
written and directed by Russ Marker
Two decades after the end of World War II, Nazi Professor Ernst Von Hauser builds a time
machine in the backwoods of Texas, and he’s got a plan to use it to change the outcome
of the war: Start by bringing Confederate soldiers to the present; kidnap a wandering
majorette; and finally send that nosy reporter Jim Crandell and his sidekick singer Sandy
De Mar back to the past before bringing them back to be imprisoned.
As you may know, in
the 1960s, the best way to present this kind of story was through an hour of snail-paced
police procedural followed by detailed lectures from the mad professor. Oh, and also be
sure to also send the majorette on a brief trip to the future, and keep a close eye on
that brave Egyptian slave.

But just suppose, for the sake of argument, the Ellison kid did see two men from out of
the past of 100 years ago. That would mean somebody around here is tampering with time.
