From the farthest reaches of space it came…is it friend or foe? After a ship from a distant world lands on the moors of Scotland, intrepid reporter John Lawrence (Robert Clarke, The Hideous Sun Demon) and the brilliant Professor Elliot (Raymond Bond) set out to investigate. Their journey brings them face to face with the ship's pilot—an alien from a dying planet that pleads for their aid. But Elliot's unscrupulous colleague Dr. Mears (William Schallert, The Patty Duke Show) has other plans entirely for the interplanetary visitor—plans that could decide the fate of two worlds. Also starring David Ormont and Margaret Field, The Man From Planet X is pure 50's drive-in goodness, straight from B-movie master Edgar G. Ulmer (The Black Cat, Detour).
