The Brainwashers

Synopsis: A man is taken to the doctor's office, but not for an ordinary checkup. A huge syringe is thrust into his head. Out of it oozes a yellowish liquid that magically turns into two sinister-looking men, pale as corpses, dressed as 19th century chimney sweeps. They are ready to erase the patient's memories, but when get down to business, encounter a wonderful world. What a brain!
