...hour watch of 300 yards of fence. Television eyes help check the speed of sugar cane moving along a conveyor belt at the Ewa Plantation near Honolulu, tip off workmen when the cane jams up. At Chicago's Argonne National Laboratory, scientists manipulate radioactive material with intricate "slave hands" by means of three-dimensional camera that gives the necessary depth perception for delicate handling. The military has drafted television to get safe closeups of automatic shell loading, seek out enemy targets for guided missiles, and, with cameras mounted in planes and jeeps, survey the front ines for commanders...

He claps his hands and some Moorish slaves drag in the beautiful white captive (Rhonda Fleming), who writhes seductively through the rents in her muslin. "I'm not one to submit with servility!" she cries, for she is a New England miss. "Such spirit amuses me," murmurs Omar, the Aga of the Janissaries (Bart Roberts), lecherously twirling his lip-tussock, and off she is hauled to his harem, there to be anointed with fragrant scents that drive the Aga gaga...
