Clarification Request

Sorry, could you explain exactly what you're trying to do in more detail? You have a Keystone K-41, a classic 8mm movie camera if I understand you correctly. If that's the case the film must be removed to be developed and that involves opening the camera. Even if the entire unopened camera was dunked in the developing and fixing chemicals the film would not develop as the film must be unwound from the spool in order to do so.

Am i right in thinking the keystone is a old 8mm movie camera? Never had any experience with movie cameras, or developing their film- I'm goin to assume its like 35mm developing, apologies if this is completly useless advice.
I'm fairly certain you will not be able to develop film in camera (camera will end up pretty wet). If the problem you have is actually getting film out o the camera I'd suggest a changing bag- basically a light tight bag that you put the camera in with your developing tin (if your home developing) or canister if your using a lab, you then have to put your hands inside 2 holes either side and transfer your film from camera to developing container- blind.
I'd advise doing a couple practice runs first with some old unused film just to get the hang of it- it can be tricky.
Again I have no experience with 8mm film processing but I'd imagine the principles are similiar.
You can get hold of changing bags from most photographic retailers, and always follow instructions that came with your film.
