Description

Arthur Duane Cartwright-Chickering, is fired from his job because the new computer that processes employee files cannot handle his long name. It all began when a decent, ordinary chap named Albert Duane Cartwright-Chickering ran afoul of a powerful, brainy computer named Randolf Datatronic (model 8080). Things looked bad for our man Albert—until he came up with a secret organization sworn to fight computers to the bitter end. Even then, the gallant crew were losing the battle—until Albert came up with his incredible secret weapon (a mold cultured in Grape Juice!)
