It is the ’50s, and Dr. Karol Noymann (John Carradine) is messing around with atomics and gets irradiated. His carcass is buried. His friend Dr. Adam Penner (Philip Tonge) and co-worker decide his demise is not from any radiation but from trying to use it for military purposes.
Invisible beings who own the universe figure it is time to invade Earth as they are getting too uppity with their newfound atomics and rockets. So, they give Dr. Adam Penner self comfiest pacifist the chance to spread the news of surrender or die. To get their point across, they borrow Dr. Karol Noymann’s carcass for a farewell performance.
The movie has all the standard sci-fi clichés and formula, where the girl half-betrothed to the wimp second in command really goes for the strong-willed military type.
Lots of stock films and a “Plan 9” feel make this a film classic. No matter how campy, if you are a kid, this is one spooky movie. What you cannot see can hurt you.
