Aliens able to make themselves and their spaceships invisible issue an ultimatum to the Earth and start committing murder and sabotage by occupying the bodies of recently deceased humans, like an atomic scientist (John Carradine). An army major (John Agar) is assigned to move another scientist (Philip Tongue), his daughter (Jean Byron), and a colleague (Robert Hutton), to a secret underground bunker where they try to develop some some sort of weapon against the aliens.

Perhaps it's all of these qualities working together that make so many 1950s science fiction adventures so much fun to watch? 1959's 'Invisible Invaders' starring John Agar and John Carradine and directed by Edward L. Cahn is a riot of 1950s science fiction cheese, and features all the best qualities of a low-budget production.
