Killers from Space

Dr. Douglas Martin is gathering some super-top-secret atomic bomb data for the US Air Force when he mysteriously loses control of his aircraft and crashes. Despite dying in the crash, he shows up at the base the next day!

It turns out a swarm of aliens from “Astron Delta” is behind it all. Using their advanced medical science, they resuscitate the dead nuclear scientist and decide to use him as a pawn to advance their nefarious plot. Obviously, they plan to take over the Earth, although their strategy to achieve this end is a bit unique, to say the least. The basic (admittedly muddled) idea is to accumulate the energy released from our atomic tests and use it to somehow breed aggressive, humongous insects and reptiles that will devour all life on Earth. After that, the invaders plan to wipe out those mutant creatures with some sort of killer sonic rays and use their bodies as fertilizer (!) to usher in a new era of civilization – theirs!

When Dr. Martin refuses to participate in this crazy project, the aliens subject him to some kind of brainwashing, but with questionable efficacy… Back on base, Martin’s superiors suspect he might be a foreign agent, so they subject him to questioning under Sodium Pentothal. The “truth serum” drug causes him to regain his memory of the alien encounter, and he attempts to warn his colleagues of the looming menace, but, unsurprisingly, no one believes his wild story.

That’s when his intrinsic genius kicks in, sparking a eureka moment – all he needs to do is unplug the alien equipment! Why didn’t he think of that sooner?
