A Cadillac pulls up to a hospital on the wrong side of the road next to a fireplug and in front of a no parking sign Paul Johnson Paul Birch enters the hospital He is greeted by Nurse Nadine Storey Beverly Garland He has come for a transfusion of blood He refuses a blood test which both the doctor and nurse find incomprehensible Dr FW Rochelle William Roerick comes out of his office and invites Mr Johnson in Dr Rochelle explains no doctor on earth would do a transfusion without knowing the blood type of a patient Johnson walks over to the lab bench grabs a scalpel and cuts his wrist There is no bleeding Johnson explains to the doctor that it will bleed later Johnson telepathically communicates with Rochelle He agrees to the blood test but swears the doctor to secrecy Rochelle begins studying Johnsons blood as Nadine gives him his transfusion Johnson asks Nadine to work for him She agrees only if the doctor approves which he does Rochelles orders are for a daily infusion of 500 cc of type O every night
A motorcycle police officer Harry Sherbourne Morgan Jones is making his rounds when he sees Johnsons car He prepares to write a ticket for multiple violations when Nadine and Johnson exit the hospital Nadine and Harry know each other and she convinces him not to write up Mr Johnson She explains Johnson is very sick so Harry agrees to escort Johnson home At Johnsons residence he is greeted at the door by his chauffer and butler Jeremy Perrin Jonathan Haze Johnson tells Jeremy to prepare a room for the nurse Johnson goes to the kitchen and removes several vials of blood and places them in the refrigerator When finished he goes down into the basement Jeremy enters the kitchen which he was expressly told not to do He pulls out a clear cylinder and as he tries to open it he is frozen by Johnson telepathically Johnson tells Jeremy if he spies on him again he will be eliminated
Nadine drives her car to the Johnson residence She is carrying a single suitcase Before she can ring the doorbell Jeremy greets her He makes a clumsy pass and she rebuffs him He finds her attractive she is disinterested She enters the living room and apologizes for her late arrival She explains to Johnson that she had to clean out her desk at the hospital Johnson escorts Nadine to her room upstairs He departs but locks her door from the outside She objects and tells Johnson if her door is to be locked shed prefer to do it herself Johnson returns to the living room which seems to double as a bedroom He retrieves a communication device and calls his home planet of Davanna The closet has been converted into a matter transporter A floating head the courier January Boleslavsky communicates with Johnson telepathically and relays the current and dire conditions on his home world We learn that the earth is under study from these aliens like Johnson They need huge quantities of blood as a result of war and radioactivity Johnson is given his marching orders in six phases 1 Study humans 2 Return more blood home 3 A live human for research to be teleported to Davanna 4 Johnson is Phase 4Earth blood transfusions 5 If Earth blood keeps him aliveconquest subjugation and pasturing of the Earths population 6 If Johnson dies destroy the Earth
The next morning Jeremy prepares breakfast for Johnson Under his jacket he carries a gun He delivers Johnson his breakfast Johnson tells Jeremy to prepare the car for a trip to the Public Library Johnson does not eat solid food He adds a pill to water which turns the liquid black and consumes it Jeremy brings Nadine her breakfast He tells her he gets paid 300 a week for practically no work Nadine takes Johnsons temperature Nadine has no further duties until evening so she decides to use the swimming pool
The doorbell rings Since Jeremy is occupied Johnson answers it himself and finds a vacuum cleaner salesman Joe Piper Dick Miller Joe turns on the high pressure during the demo When he mentions the cellar Johnson becomes interested He invites him in and escorts him to the cellar There the boiler or furnace is stoked up and glowing Joe sets up his equipment and comments about the dirt in the drain pipe Johnson removes his sunglasses and when Joe looks at him he does a double take screams and falls back dead Johnson has his suitcase ready and drains the salesmans blood When he is done he stuffs the body into the furnace
Jeremy is driving Johnson to the library Along the way he encounters three winos When Johnson asks about the three gentlemen Jeremy tells him they are just bums Johnson mumbles Phase 2 He tells Jeremy to invite all three to dinner tonight Jeremy is shocked and horrified but has learned to just follow strange orders by the boss
Harry Sherbourne is driving and notices Dr Rochelle sitting on a bus bench His car is in the shop so Harry offers him a lift They are both heading to the Johnson residence anyway By the pool Nadine notices smoke rising from the chimney It is a warm day and no one should be using a fireplace or furnace She walks down into the cellar to investigate She is carrying her bathing cap Before she can open the furnace door she notices a large number of Erlenmeyer Flasks She puts her cap down and picks up an empty flask She removes the stopper and sniffs She grimaces from an apparent bad smell She again approaches the furnace but before she can open it she hears a car horn She puts the empty flask down on a small table next to the stairs and exits the cellar
Harry and Dr Rochelle arrive Just as they exit their car Jeremy pulls up in the Cadillac Harry recognizes Jeremy a frequent guest of the police Nadine takes Harry and Dr Rochelle into the house Dr Rochelle goes into the living room with Johnson He tells him Your blood is different from any I ever studied in my entire career He has a low red blood count and his blood appears to be evaporating for lack of a better description Dr Rochelle thinks it might be a plague and that time is critical Johnson tells Jeremy to tell Harry to return Dr Rochelle to his work and to go to the park and collect my dinner guests Nadine thinks Jeremy swiped her bathing cap because she cant find it Johnson is in the cellar churning the ashes in the furnace and stoking it up for later He picks up her bathing cap Jeremy collects the winos and returns them to the house They are in the basement with Johnson drinking when Johnson removes his sunglasses and fries their brains Johnson loads numerous vials of blood into a trunk and tells Jeremy to move it to the living room Harry and Nadine walk back to the Johnson residence from a date Harry warns Nadine to be careful He refers to the pair in the house as a creep and a twobit crook I dont like the feel of this place Johnson communicates with Davanna The trunk is teleported The next item on the agenda is a live subject
At police headquarters Sgt George Walton Roy Engel is on the phone and discussing a case involving neck punctures Harry enters the room So far thirteen people have been killed with the same MO He goes on to explain that he has some kind of device that burns out the eyes and brains of his victims and then he drains them of their blood He notes that the missing person rate has gone up sharply
Nadine gives Johnson his evening transfusion He casually asks her if she has any relatives She tells him Just an Aunt in Detroit who raised me After his transfusion Johnson goes on the prowl for a human subject to transport to Davanna He spots an oriental man Harold Fong He telepathically directs the man to follow him home He is told by the courier that things are devolving into anarchy on Davanna Johnson reports that he wont know if the treatments are working for three more days The Chinese man is teleported to Davanna
The next morning Jeremy enters the kitchen with Johnsons untouched breakfast Nadine examines it She notices the black water and its vile chemical smell Jeremy volunteers other odd behavior like the three winos and the Chinese man arriving and never leaving She decides to take the water to a lab and have it analyzed Johnson and Jeremy are preparing to drive into town Johnson hands Jeremy Nadines bathing cap Nadine brings the sample to Dr Rochelle She gets a call from Harry Dr Rochelles new nurse Joanne Tamar Cooper brings in a bottle of canine blood infected with rabies She labels it and puts it in the refrigerator Nadine and Harry make a dinner date for 600 pm She invites Dr Rochelle to join them later at the restaurant with the test results
Johnson is on the street when he recognizes a woman from Davanna Anna Lee Carroll She too wears sunglasses They stop at a magazine stand and telepathically communicate She explains she came through the transporter at Johnsons home because anarchy reigns back home He tells her she can help him with his work She also tells him that transport back through the beam is impossible The Chinese man was crushed when he arrived on Davanna She finally tells Johnson she needs blood While Johnson takes the woman to Dr Rochelles lab Dr Rochelle joins Harry and Nadine for dinner Dr Rochelle tells Nadine the black liquid is a complete food Nadine finally reveals the sourceJohnson Rochelle blanches then changes the subject and will not discuss Johnson any further Back at the hospital Johnson accidently gives his companion the rabid dog blood for her transfusion She complains of feeling strangely but is assured that is normal She walks to her hotel room but doubles back to the hospital and collapses on the stoop Dr Rochelle was returning to his lab and sees the woman He has the nurse help him get the woman to his office He removes her sunglasses and she opens her eyes Like Johnsons they are milky white orbs
Johnson goes to pick up his car The attendant Tom Graeff leads him to his car Johnson directs him into the car I must have a second live specimen A customer honks his horn for the attendant and the spell Johnson has over him is broken The attendant bolts from Johnsons car Johnson gives chase and kills him
Harry calls Nadine at Johnsons house He tells her a woman died and that she had no eyes and wore the same sunglasses as Johnson He tells her Johnson is dangerous and wants her to leave Unwisely Nadine ignores the advise and stays to do a little investigating with Jeremy They search the house They discover the communication device and the transporter in the closet Jeremy discovers a skull in the furnace Johnson arrives home The phone rings and Nadine answers She is unaware Johnson is home and picks up the downstairs phone and listens to her conversation with Dr Rochelle about the Davanna woman Johnson tells Nadine to remain in her room and then hangs up the other phone Johnson kills Jeremy then runs upstairs to kill Nadine She wont look at him and employs a piercing scream to escape Johnson is especially sensitive to loud noises She bolts from the house He gives chase in his car Telepathically he tells her he is going to destroy Dr Rochelle He goes to the kitchen removes a glass cylinder that Jeremy was examining days before He reanimates a creature that resembles a cross between a crab and an umbrella
Dr Rochelle is examining the blood sample while the umbrella creature seeks it prey It makes a noise like a guinea pig It enters Rochelles office through an open window It drops down and engulfs the doctors head The doctor briefly struggles collapses on his lab bench and bleeds out
Johnson drives to Nadine following her mind signal Nadine calls Harry and tells him Johnson is after her Johnson chases her in the car and on foot through a park Harry and Simmons Pat Flynn try to find Johnson and Nadine on their motorcycles Nadine tires and is finally controlled by Johnson She is to be the next human specimen to be sent through the transporter He tells her to return to the house and step into the beam and transport herself to Davanna Johnson kills Simmons Johnson targets Harry when he chases his car on the motorcycle Harry uses his siren and causes Johnson to roll the car breaking the spell on Nadine She sobs while standing in the transporter
Harry and Nadine are standing next to a headstone On it is written Here lies a man who was not of this earth They exchange small talk at the graveside We close with a lone figure of a man approaching dressed like Johnson and wearing sunglasses
