A scientist (David Hedison) has a horrific accident when he tries to use his newly invented teleportation device.
The creators of this film made an interesting decision: casting Vincent Price in a supporting role rather than the lead. Of course, if he was the lead, he would have his face covered and relatively few lines to speak. So maybe that was the clincher.
This film really embraces the 1950s science fiction boom, with the giant computer and invention. Is this a "mad scientist"? Not in the least. Although he is not a particularly logical or well-reasoned scientist. Who tests something on the family cat before using something smaller, like a dead fish? And who tests things on themselves before others? Foolish.
