Med sit blændende og nærmest naive smil, følger vi Ed Wood, som forsøger at blive en anerkendt instruktør. Hans overtalelses evner fejler bestemt ikke noget, da det lykkes ham at skaffe kapital til alle sine film. Problemet er bare, at Ed Wood ikke er det mindste perfektionist, og selv en væltende gravsten på en kirkegård i en central scene, bliver ikke taget så nøje. Omgivet af underholdningsbranchens skøreste udskud tager Ed kunsten at skabe dårlige film til et helt nyt lavpunk.

After escaping Russia's communist revolution, Léon Theremin travels to New York, where he pioneers the field of electronic music with his synthesizer. But at the height of his popularity, Soviet agents kidnap and force him to develop spy technology.

En ung og barsk storbyfløs, som bliver arresteret uden grund, men langsomt får styr på sit liv, da en politimand fatter særlig interesse for ham og hjælper ham til at blive en nyttig samfundsborger.

On their wedding night, a newlywed couple find themselves menaced by a bloodthirsty vampire.

Quite simply the finest theremin player who has ever lived, Clara Rockmore began her performing life as a violin prodigy at the age of 5 years old, still the youngest person ever admitted to the prestigious Imperial Conservatory of Saint Petersburg where she studied under the great Leopold Auer. Due to childhood malnutrition causing bone problems in her teen years, she was forced to give up the violin and moved to New York City in the mid 1920's where she met and became involved with Russian electronics genius Leon Theremin and helped him to refine and perfect his new instrument, giving advice from the standpoint of a musical performer to make the theremin more playable and developing her own hand techniques and exercises for playing the instrument.
