A couple of intrepid newspaper reporters end up in the fictional country of Gudavia where a mad scientist is experimenting on children with his gamma ray. It's a thinly veiled critic of Nazi brainwashing and Hitler youth. The reporters are captured and must rely on an uprising of the people to save them. It all ends in a fiery revolution in the castle. Any promise of intelligent sci fi is undone by stereotyped characters and poor acting.
