A campy 1950s creature feature about an alien-infected astronaut and a deranged farmer, blending B-movie horror tropes with pulpy sci-fi invasion anxiety.

An astronaut returns to Earth as the no-pulse host of an alien monster's embryos; he is discovered by a loony farmer who find ways to feed his new critter.
