Space Master X-7, a satellite probe for exploring the possibility of life in space, returns to Earth. In his laboratory, Dr. Pommer (Paul Frees) discovers that it picked up a space-borne fungus that rapidly expands and feeds on carbon-based matter, human or otherwise. Ex-wife Laura Greeling visits Pommer over a custody argument about their son, and inadvertantly becomes a carrier of the microscopic lifeform. Pommer is killed by the alien growth, and a government coverup leaves his ex-wife to mistakenly assume that she is a suspect in his death. Government authorities are now in a race to find her before she can start a widespread epidemic.
Moe Howard has a small role as a cab driver who comes in contact with Laura.
Uncredited, director Edward Bernds can be heard as a television news announcer.
Dr. Pommer was played by Paul Frees, who primarily made his career in animation, particularly the 1960s television productions of the Jay Ward Studios. His best-known credit is the voice of ROCKY & BULLWINKLE's "Boris Badenov," and he worked with The Three Stooges twice in 1965... on the pilot cartoon episode of THE NEW 3 STOOGES, and as the narrator in THE OUTLAWS IS COMING.
