"Rosebuuuuud... Yes! Rosebud Frozen Peas, full of country goodness and green peaness."
-- Maurice LaMarche as Orson Welles, The Critic

One of my favorite B-movies is Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes (1978). Well, our latest addition will make those tomatoes green with envy. Yes, from the archives of Harold Haxton's best friend and cinematographer Arlen Ford comes the long-lost script for Peril Begins With A Pea (1964?):

"World-famous botanist John C. Baines and his son, Jack discover a never-before-seen species of prehistoric legume beneath the frozen Antarctic tundra. While on display in the Museum of Natural History, the famous pea is stolen by Kat Doigts-Léger, a glamorous - and, naturally, dangerous - French jewel thief. Once removed from its carefully controlled environment, the pea inexplicably begins to grow. Kat kidnaps Jack Baines in an attempt to find out more about the vegetable, but the pea splits and goes on a rampage, growing to almost 60 feet tall. Now Jack and Kat must work together to stop a deadly green giant from destroying our nation's capital...and perhaps, the world."
