When 21-year-old Melissa Collins (Eileen Elton) commits suicide, her guardian, the domineering American newspaper publisher William T. Marshall (Dennis O'Keefe), searches (in flashback) for a reason. He finds it in a letter he receives from Melissa, after her death. In this she asks Marshall to take revenge on her lover, philandering musician Larry Shaw (Vernon Greeves), who caused her such pain he made life not worth living. Marshall hires criminal mastermind, Karnak (Anton Diffring), an avid philatelist. He promises him a rare stamp in exchange for planning the torturous murder of Larry Shaw. Meanwhile, Marshall's loyal secretary, Katie Whiteside (Ann Sears), attempts to calm her boss's obsessive desires for vengeance. Matters become additionally complicated however, when Karnak targets the wrong man.

Note54%

A spacecraft is viewed flying over the British countryside by several eye witnesses, including a woman who gets into an auto accident as a result. Later, a man enters a country inn very near where the sighting and auto accident took place. Acting strangely, seemingly able to read people's thoughts, he gives no name but says he needs a room. The stranger (Helmut Dantine) also asserts that he is responsible for saving the life of Susan North (Patricia Neal), the road accident victim. When he explains that he comes from the planet Venus, Arthur Walker (Derek Bond), a high-ranking government official and Susan's fiancé, calls the War Ministry. A Dr. Meinard (Cyril Luckham) later examines the stranger from Venus and observes that he seems to have no pulse.
