Enemy agents kidnap a professor who's invented an antidote to a deadly gas, and take him to a foreign nation where one of history's greatest villains may still be alive.
The main point of interest in this movie is the identity of the supposed man behind the plot, which I won't reveal here, but will say the film was later re-released with added scenes and a new title that gave his identity away. The scenes without that villain and the sci-fi premise behind his preservation are pretty routine, and a largely unknown cast and an uninspired screenplay don't help matters. It was good to see familiar 1950s character actors Rivas and Nestor Paiva, and the premise is a good one, but would have made a much better movie in more skilled hands. It's still worth checking out if you've never seen it, but for me, it just wasn't a highly entertaining film.
