#63 - Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine
Vincent Price plays the diabolical Dr. Goldfoot, who (with the help of his assistant Igor, played by Jack Mullaney) creates a troupe of bikini-clad robot femme fatales that he sends into the world to trick the richest men into giving away their fortune. His greatest robot, Number 11 (Susan Hart), ensnares both Frankie Avalon and Dwayne Hickman with her charms. They wind up prisoners in Goldfoot's lair. Fun campy romp with a fantastic theme song by The Supremes.
