Synopsis
THE JOKER (b&w/color) is a surreal gem that mixes special effects with steel-plant safety tips to give us HANS CONRIED (of The Twonky and 5000 Fingers of Dr. T) as an imp in full color running around an otherwise black & white world! "You’ve heard of impossible accidents? He’s the guy who makes them possible!" Dressed like a court jester, Conried magically appears to various workers, gets their mind off their work, and causes accidents. All of which creates a grim tension between goofy comedy and men getting mangled, blinded, and crippled. Sponsored by United States Steel and, probably, Satan.
