An agent from a distant planet has been sent to earth to ship large quantities of blood to his world, where a plague is ravaging the populace. He comes equipped with an interstellar matter transmitter, telepathic mind-control powers, and deathray-shooting eyes. Because he is also affected by the blood disease, he gains control of the town’s physician and has him place a nurse at his disposal, while he collects live humans for fresh blood; but gains the nurse’s suspicions, along with those of her boyfriend - a town police officer.

Viewing Notes
This is another “vampire” film where the only connection to the bloodsuckers is that they, well, drink human blood. In actuality they are aliens who hypnotize and control humans via telepathic eye contact and then take their blood. Interesting story from Roger Corman.
