The Story of Mankind
“The whole story of men and their women from Creation to now!”
A new weapon is about to be tested on Earth, and a heavenly tribunal must decide whether humanity gets to keep going. The Spirit of Man (Ronald Colman) argues that people are worth saving, while the Devil argues the opposite. Irwin Allen puts the case before the court through scenes of history, with Joan of Arc (Hedy Lamarr) and Sir Isaac Newton (Harpo Marx) called to speak for the species.
