When a private investigator gains information about what may be happening, the investigator starts showing spots of blood o n him. Soon, others in the community come down with the same thing called “the crimson plague” killing people by the hundreds.

The basics of the story is that aliens are taking over the minds of the greatest scientist in order to use their knowledge to fix their ship and take over earth. The movie becomes a fun and at times a psychedelic cat and mouse game. The movie feels like a mix of Dragnet and Space Patrol. The pacing of the movie was very good. No time was wasted in telling the story and very little in the movie didn’t make sense. The soundtrack was used sparingly as to not distract the viewer and instead allowed the actors and scenes to set the moods and emotions for the movie.
