For the third movie of our Pleasencing Season we discuss the bizarre New Zealand romp, Race for the Yankee Zephyr AKA Treasure of the Yankee Zephyr, which is full of mad hats, weird stunts, silly accents and bonkers plot decisions where a drunken Donald Pleasence goes head to head with an outrageously camp George Peppard.
