Not Much

Some scientists and comic relief Steve Franken open a "time window" to 100,000 years in the future which turns out to be a door, so they go through to discover it's gone to H.G. Wells' Eloi vs. Morlocks.... only the Eloi are scientists getting ready to fly away to another planet, and the Morlocks are mutants. There's some scientific bafflegab, nothing is really resolved, the comic relief is very mild, and someone plays. electronic music, but you do get to see Forrest J. Ackerman for eight seconds, so I'm sure it got a glowing review in Famous Monsters of Filmland.

The script and direction are by Ib Melchior -- he should've done a double act with Ub Iwerks. He was the son of Lauritz Melchior, and went into the business behind the screen, working for Perry Como at one point. After he wrote the script for DEATH RACE 2000, his credits faded away. He died in 2013, aged 97.
