Looks like they raided the costume lockers for "Ben Hur". Actually, the plot of this is much more sophisticated than "Plan 9". Just substitute the words "Captain Kirk" for "Captain Video" and see how well it plays. Pretty cool message later in the video, around 20:17..."We'll get back to Captain Video in one minute. Rangers, ever tackle a job you really looked forward to doing? "Oh boy", you say, rubbing your hands together..that's for me..that's right up my alley. Well, there's one big job that's up everybody's alley, Rangers. That's the job of fighting discrimination. Seeing to it the next fellow gets a fair chance, regardless of his race or religion. We've all got a talent for that, if we know how to use it. It comes under the heading of friendship. When we like people and are genuinely interested in them, there's no room for un-American prejudice. So all we have to do is keep on making new friends. Easy as pie. There's another reason why fighting discrimination ought to be up everybody's alley, because those who turn thumbs-down on one race or religion one day are just as apt to turn against another race or religion another day - YOURS maybe, who knows. So when you fight for an equal chance for everyone in your club, your team, and jobs of all kinds, you're fighting your own battle too, Rangers. Now back to Captain Video."

Reminds me of Plan 9 from Outer Space
