All right...how do I describe this?

It's a futuristic tale involving Joseph Harkness, an inventive miner (played by "The Luck Sisters" alumni Russell Horton) who lives on "Planet Vivian". Using "zeta power" techniques he's worked with on his job, he invents a 12 foot high robot, made out of titanium that looks like a gigantic horseshoe crab with retractable spider crab legs. (Fer kix both species are pictured above). He believes the military will want it as a weapon of the future (and he's right). He calls it "Joe's Killer Crab" or "K.C." for short.

No kidding.

To add to matters he has an inventor wife who wants out of her (marriage) "contract" (they have different names for things in the future) in order to marry another scientist who, while very polite, wants Joe dead. The new husband also, as Joe doesn't like us to forget, has a habit of pulling on his nose while thinking.

I think I'd better quit while I'm ahead on this RMT-meets-the Jetsons-in-a-B-52s-nightmare-CD-track play, except to say it was a somewhat amusing if a bit hard to follow offering from the Tammy Grimes year of RMT. All it needed was a sign somewhere saying "Eat at Joe's".
