Description: Running time: 03:15.; Pacific Film Archive collection; non-circulating. CBPF.; The film begins with a pan of a military cemetery. American flags are on graves with identical headstones. A toy robot comes into focus in the foreground, walking outside a wire mesh fence. The robot turns, making sounds like machine gun fire. The camera follows the robot's walk in a pan as the robot walks past a poster on the fence of Richard Nixon with the text WANTED FOR MURDER. The screen goes black while on the soundtrack the sound of a woman crying is heard. When the picture returns, the robot is lying on its side, helplessly moving its arms and legs. The woman laughs.; PFA 1604-56-3350. CONDITION NOTE: Inspected: 06 Jan 1993; scratches; splices; Very good condition: color good; heavily scratched; one tape splice at 17 ft., 4 fr.
