A manned rocket returning from the Moon is invaded by an alien life force that possesses the astronaut, maintains control of his disembodied hand after a California beach crash-landing, and then imposes its will on a local medical student (Rod Lauren). Veteran players Kent Taylor, Richard Arlen, Alan Hale Jr. and Arline Judge struggle to retain their dignity in this five-fingered sci-fiasco! Features "The Bird's the Word" by the Rivingtons!
