What happens

The Time Travelers is a 1964 American science fiction film directed by Ib Melchior and starring Preston Foster, Philip Carey, Merry Anders, Steve Franken, and John Hoyt. (Delores Wells, Playboy's Miss June 1960, has a bit part, as does superfan Forrest J Ackerman.) The film inspired the 1966 TV series The Time Tunnel, as well as the 1967 remake, Journey to the Center of Time. The plot involves a group of scientists who find that, due to an electrical overload, their time-viewing screen suddenly allows them to travel through time. American International Pictures released the film as a double feature with Atragon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
