The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Vanishing Outpost is a 1951 American Western film produced and directed by Ron Ormond and starring Lash LaRue and Al "Fuzzy" St. John. It is the tenth of LaRue's films for Ormond's Western Adventures Productions Inc., the fourth to be released by Howco and Ormond's second film as director. The screenplay is credited to Ormond's wife June Carr and Maurice Tombragel. The film is composed mostly of footage from the previous Ormond-LaRue Westerns Son of Billy the Kid (1949), Mark of the Lash (1948), Outlaw Country (1949) and Son of a Bad Man (1949). Despite the title, no outposts are involved in the plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
