Synopsis from Katethegreat.net: Miss Pudd is a pixillated old woman who owns a store that some call an antique establishment and others term a junkyard. How did she get into that line of work? "I never had much luck with men," she says, "so I concentrated on junk." She often refuses to part with her goods, which have a sentimental association for her, but she does sell some items, for trifling amounts, to two small boys. The youngsters are refurbishing a balloon that once belonged to the older boy's grandfather, The Great Sandusky, a stunt man. They plan to take it aloft to celebrate the grandfather's birthday. Miss Pudd prods, encourages and inspires the boys to sail the balloon from San Francisco to Los Angeles, accompanied by her and their English Sheepdog.

Siren of Atlantis (USA)

From IMDb:

I love old adventure/fantasy movies like this, where the acting is overdone, the Technicolor is glowing, the art direction flawless, and the costumes so over-decorated you'd think it was Shakespeare In the Park. This one is no exception! It concerns a group of explorers who become stranded in the desert when trying to help a lost countryman. They save his life and are "welcomed" into the city of Atlantis, which, prior to common belief, actually sank into the sand. Once inside, however, they have to fight for their lives against a malicious queen, her servants, and the threat of an atomic bomb testing site near by. Elegant to the last frame, this is a movie to savor! Leave it up to Something Weird Video to preserve weird gems like this for people who love classic cheeseball movies that are made with passion and style.
