Hollywood gangsters kidnap a Beverly Hills socialite in her Cadillac convertible and wisk her off to a remote mountain cabin, where a curvy "starlet" in a Spandex spacesuit lands in her "white light" spaceship to bring handsome leading man, Robert Clarke, a message and to heat up his hormones. One problem with this cosmic encounter -- her touch is deadly, so no messing around.

An Atomic Age cult classic that could have only come out of the Hollywood B-movie factory of the 1950's. If tough gangster dialogue, sleazy dames, petty crooks, rubber snakes, and if Ed Wood films speak to you, this is the one!

Producer-director Ronnie Ashcroft's first feature film venture guided by his friend and mentor Edward D. Wood, Jr., whose "uncredited" help gives this film that unmistakable "scent" of Wood.
