Synopsis

Dr. Adam Steele has perfected a robot called Colonel Saunders that is so humanlike that he is able to fool the press before launching it into space. The robot is electrically damaged by a spaceship carrying invaders from another planet who plan to capture women from Earth for breeding purposes. As a result of the crash and a laser-gun attack, the robot's face is horribly disfigured, and he is transformed into a Frankenstein-type monster. The robot is traced to Puerto Rico and repaired but then captured by the invaders who also seize Dr. Steele's assistant, Karen Grant, and several other women. Meanwhile, Steele and General Bowers have prepared a large-scale attack, and once the robot has freed the women, the invading spaceship is destroyed.
