****SPOILERS**** Right away you know your in for a rare treat in seeing the opening credits backed up by Mark Richardson crooning the theme song "The Night Caller" as we see this spot of light, or what later looked like a light up beach ball, descending to earth outside of London. It's up to scientists Jack Costain, John Saxon, and fellow astrologists Dr. Morley, Murice Denham, and Ann Barlow, Patricia "Pat" Haines, to find and figure out where this glowing and sub-freezing ball comes from and if its a danger to those of us on earth.
As we soon find out the ball has somehow materialized, out of thin air, this six foot five inch alien called Medra, Robert Crewdson, who's on a mission of survival for his almost totally depleted, due to a low birth rate,race on the Jupiter moon of Ganymede. Medra plans to transport young woman back to his home planet to, by breeding with the few males left on it, repopulated the Ganymedean race. Medra does this through advertising in the London girlie magazine "Biini Girl" by offering them modeling jobs.
****SPOILERS***** The film "Night Caller from Outer Space" has to be taken with a grain of salt in it really being a strange and far out combination alien from space and Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello bikini beach ball movie despite the graphic, for 1965, violence in it. This Medra guy, who we see only in shadow until the last few minutes of the film, seems to walk through walls as well as making himself invisible and at the same time invincible to anything that the British military can throw at him. It's only at the end of the movie that the shadowy Medra finally reviles himself, he doesn't look as bad as you would have thought he would, and his secret mission on earth. And just when it looks like it's mission accomplished, with the British military unable to stop him, he just takes off, with the glowing beach ball, back home to Ganymede leaving the some 30 young and well developed women, whom he came to earth for in the first place, behind?
