Marlo Higgins (Laurie Faso) worked in the basement of the offices of the L. Dullo Computer Company in New York City.
It is here that the moustachioed and frizzy-haired computer operator Marlo had secretly invented the Magic Movie Machine, a computer that could talk, tell “knock-knock” jokes and riddles, and project a variety of films and videos.
Accessing the computer via a secret doorway hidden behind a bookcase, Marlo would act as a disc jockey, presenting educational entertainment for children in the elementary and junior high school bracket.
Taped at WFSB-TV in Hartford, the series was developed by CBS in cooperation with the Corporation for Entertainment & Learning Inc. (who provided the vintage film clips used on the show). An advisory panel of educators and child psychologists assisted in the formative stages of the series.
