6M.4F. Full-length (2 hrs). When a metal shortage threatens the infrastructure of the mythical land of Steel City, scientist Isabella McGleetch goes on a quest for the infamous Brass Banyan - a tree that grows as solid brass. Meanwhile, a group of political dissidents and saboteurs have been disrupting the daily life of the city, and making things very difficult for Mayor Gunson - a half-man, half-machine dictator whom the citizens fear. Includes several scenes that could be produced individually, including BENEATH THE MONOLITH, ART: OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, THE BRASS BANYAN, THE SAPPHIRE SABOTEUR, and FRIENDS ROBOTS COUNTRYMEN.
