If I had some draft paper and a parallelogram, I could have made a dandy chart or figured out an algebra problem to describe the plot of this movie. How does one have a brain that is 7 and 12 seconds faster then reality? It took some explanation, but finally somehow it got through. Perhaps my brain is 7 and 12 seconds behind reality. But it is unintelligently written mystery with elements of science Fiction and crime drama, complex but neatly combined into an interesting package that does keep you in thrall even if you're having a hard time figuring it all out.

Gene Nelson goes from the dancing man to the man who discovered the atomic man in this British thriller, and is joined by Faith Domergue, once Howard Hughes' greatest discovery (among many other brief great discoveries). They play a reporter and photographer with some experience in the news of the weird, and seems to have a little bit more than normal of understanding in matters dealing with science, especially physics and chemistry.

When a body of a barely living man is dragged out of the river, Nelson is curious about the case and discovers that the victim is identical to a famous scientist. stop warming up the scientist is actually busy at work in his lab and resents being questioned. Soon, Nelson and Domergue have some Sinister men on their Trail and they must work overtime without sleep to find out the secret of this bizarre case.
