serials of the 1960s and 1970s. Michael Legge appears as Dr. Sum Thaim, a mad scientist
who is bent on taking over the world using a new operating system
called Venetian Blinds 2005. In order for the software to wipe out all other competitive systems he needs a microchip
called The Master Stroke, which is protected by government agent Dan Glaze (Ed Dunn). When Dan Glaze is killed by Thaim's henchmen, his daughter Honey Glaze seeks revenge, and trains with agent Dash Hope (Robin Gabrielli) with the help of bizarre gadgets invented by Dr Debacle (Linda Lasco). Much of the "over-the-top" character acting is enhanced using cartoonish Batman
style violence from that 1960s television series.
Honey Glaze was released as a double feature with Braindrainer, another Legge film, on DVD in 2003. Costing as little as US $20.00 to make the DVD has sold moderately on the internet and received positive reviews amongst film critics.
