There's no point in trying to summarize the plot. More craziness is stuffed into these 68 minutes than would fit in a dozen features. Scientists in love. Sexy extortionists. Laboratory explosions. Plastic surgery. Mixed-up identities. Hysteria. Sunglasses. B-movie insanity marshaled crisply and evocatively by soon-to-be A-list director Anthony Mann. Starring Brenda Marshall, Hillary Brooke and William Gargan.
