In the movie a mad scientist (Played by John Carradine in a role that waste his talent) is making 'Astro men" from dead bodies and one of his experiments is running around killing people. The man made monsters in this film wear arty style skull masks. It's a cool monster that is under used in the film.
A group of spies are looking for the mad scientist and his secrets of making astro men. The spies are lead by the late Tura Satana. Satana was best known as the mean bitch leader of a girl gang in Russ Meyer's FASTER PUSSYCAT KILL!KILL! Satana off screen was a popular asian / native american stripper. This was one of her few movies roles and she should have had more time on screen.
Looking for the astro killer and the spies are a group of American agents who are lead by Wendel Corey in his last screen role.
The astro monster in this film is a head of his times. He is solar powered with a storage battery mounded on his side incase he is in the dark. In a fight with an agent the battery pack is knocked off and the zombie runs away holding a flashlight to the solar panels mounted on the forehead of his skull mask.
Directed by Ted V. Mikels.
