Zoologist Dr. Ashida, an old friend and colleague of Dr. Benton Quest, has been conducting experiments on the lizards of a remote island. Alas, Ashida has gone a bit off his trolley, and has developed a herd of deadly dragons. The final scenes, in which the Quest team squares off against the slithery monsters, boasts some of Hanna-Barbera's finest animation and detail work of the 1960s. "Dragons of Ashida" was originally telecast on December 18, 1964, holding its own even opposite a rebroadcast of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
