_October 30, 1938. _
_While in rehearsal for their weekly radio play the cast
and crew of "Farlowe's Mystery Theatre Hour" hear a terrifying report
over the radio
- Martians have landed! Faced with Martian invasion and
barricaded in their studio; passions ignite, secret identities are revealed and
slapstick mayhem ensues when a washed-up director, his drama queen Ex, a
wanna-be war hero, a ditzy actress, and a German sound effects wiz all think
they are about to annihilated by men from Mars. Honesty and hilarity erupt as
truth and loyalty square off against fear and paranoia. _
