Director Phil Tucker is quoted as saying this film is even worse than his other one, the infamous "Robot Monster"!
He wasn't just bragging.
Two floating white dots that are supposed to be alien energy-beings cause Katherine Victor and Jason Johnson to die in an auto crash so the aliens can inhabit their bodies. The pasty-faced zombie-aliens hide in their buried "space ship" (small set with wobbly walls), and they sneak out to the beach occasionally to blow up NASA rockets with a bazooka-sized ray gun.
Two brave and inquisitive teenagers (Scott Peters and Linda Connell) uncover the plot and battle the aliens. Spooky Theremin music saturates the soundtrack (Weee-ooooo-aaaaah!). The local police don't believe the teens when they try to warn them (a 1950s sci-fi tradition). But the sheriff wises up in the nick of time, and the brave Earthlings defeat the nefarious energy-creatures.
Or do they? Weee-oooo-aaaah!
