- The Yesterday Machine, written and directed by Russ Marker (at movie theaters, USA, circa 1963).
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.
