Description by OLDIES.com:

Legendary horror icon Bela Lugosi stars as Dr. Eric Vornoff, who with Lobo (Tor Johnson), a crazed man-beast servant, is conducting flesh-burning radiation experiments on humans in an attempt to create a legion of atomic supermen.

Produced and directed by Ed Wood, Jr., famed cult filmmaker, with a script co-written by Alex Gordon and Ed's stable of players: Dolores Fuller (Glen or Glenda?, Jailbait), Tor Johnson and Paul Marco (Plan 9 from Outer Space). Bela Lugosi's last screen performance and one of Ed's best efforts! (Wade Williams)

Product Description:

A howler from Ed Wood, who brought us PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and consistently reached astonishing new lows in film-making. The grim story of a madman who puts a giant rubbery octopus in a local streambed gives Lugosi full artistic reign. Great supporting cast includes Tor Johnson as "Lobo," Lugosi's musclebound Swedish bodyguard.

Plot Synopsis:

A mad scientist attempts to develop a species of superhumans by using atomic energy. With twelve men missing, the police are hot on the tail of the scientist, who also kidnaps a nosy female reporter to make her the "bride of the atom."
