Something had gotten under astromaut John Baer's skin, and it isn't the popular Cole Porter song. It's much more deadly than that, or so scientists Michael Emmett, Ed Nelson and Angela Greene think. Baer has returned from outer space with some sort of growth living inside him. They believe him to be dead, but suddenly he's up and about and warning them not to kill the hideous looking creature that is now larger and stronger than any man, and seemingly a killer. Baer believes that if they kill the creature, he will certainly die, and tries to reason with them to find out what this creature wants.
Through Baer's voice, the creature explains why it is there, but are the earthlings really wling to listen? The set-up is slow and the budget cheap, but the script deep down makes some excellent points about what destroys civilizations and what it takes to keep them going. Of course, nothing is really resolved because, well, that's the human way, to hear only what they want to hear and to judge anything that doesn't look or walk or think like a human as a monster. Just really who is the monster?
