Storyline:Plot Synopsis1917The film opened with a strange and foreboding prologue.Under a black screen, a voice (a toy salesman) asked: "Want o see it again, little girl? It shouldn""t frighten you," as a young girl cried and clung to her mother""s dress...Who""s getting the Semple dough?" On the other end of the phone is cigar-smoking, press agent/publicist Cornelius Cobb (Lionel Stander) who denies knowing anything.Under the credits, the society""s hulking gorilla commander, black-leathered General Aldo (Claude Akins) rode on horseback through Ape City, nestled among trees."
