Description

Commander Adams and his crew must determine the fate of a human colony in the Altair IV system that stopped communicating several years ago. After a year-long journey, the ship lands on the planet, where they find two survivors — the philologist Morbius and his daughter Altaira. Morbius insists that everyone leave the planet immediately, but the commander decides to stay. That same night, several people die a horrific death.
