Interesting independent little short with legendary silent comic star Buster Keaton as none other than Satan himself, seeking vengeance for the United States misfiring a missile which lands in Satan's living room. Keaton is totally silent, in keeping with his legend, even though he had appeared in several dozen talkies. It's sort of creepy and cheaply made, a crude example of non- studio made industrial films, yet a rare glimpse of Keaton in his element. Veteran character actress Ruth Gillette stands out in a chatty, over the top performance as a public speaker. So while eliminating the middle man may not be the solution to the strange message this is trying to portray, it's passably enjoyable as a cheezy reminder of what was going on outside the mainstream of filmmaking.
