Zay It, Zee It and Zoon!
Directed by William Castle
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A lighthearted 1960s fantasy-comedy romp in which a bumbling professor discovers a magical coin and must outwit spies while learning to wield its peculiar powers.
Jonathan Jones, a professor of ancient languages, comes into possession of an ancient coin. He translates its inscription, which gives him three powers: to inflict pain, slow down time or kill. Soon, he's pursued by enemy spies who have learned about the magic coin.
