Some time ago, a rocket ship hit the "flame barrier" at the edge of outer space. Now, Kathleen Crowley has shown up in Central America. She wants jungle guides Arthur Franz and his brother, Robert Brown, to take her into the jungle, where she hopes to find either her husband, or his corpse.
It's a fairly standard, cheap jungle picture, with people trying to look like Meso-American Indians instead of Black jungle natives, with a tinge of pseudo-scientific nonsense at the end. The script doesn't try to hard, although the performers are good, and there are one or two decent comedy put-downs early on. Miss Crowley, who appeared in several scifi movies at this point in her career, is an attractive blonde, with a voice a bit like Angie Dickinson.
The movie tries to gain from strength by its genre-crossing plot, but winds up simply looking like it has a really dumb monster plot tacked onto its end.
