A story of the backbone of America's transportation system - the railroad - this film traces the evolution of locomotive power from steam through electric and diesel-electric to the latest super-powered gas-turbine electric.

The striking color and the non-technical, human-interest approach combine to give this picture high general-audience appeal.

The story tells of a young boy who finds an orphaned baby otter and decides to adopt him into the family, but as the otter grows it wreaks all kinds of havoc, including raiding the neighbor's chicken coop.

A mad doctor transforms into a monstrous killer after injecting a serum into his thyroid gland.
