Matt Corbin, a vacationing magazine writer, takes a fishing trip to Minnesota, and stumbles across a lake in which all the fish have mysteriously died. The locals are tight-lipped about it, but Corbin learns that a group of former-Nazis-turned-Communists have purchased a lodge on an island in the middle of the fish-killing lake, and have built some kind of laboratory. Never one to pass up a chance to sell a story to a magazine, Matt decides to investigate. His only ally is Janet Keller, the sister of the local doctor who has been caught up in whatever those nefarious Commie-Nazis are up to. What they are up to, with Soviet financing, is the development of diseases to use in bacteriological warfare against the United States, starting right there in Minnesota.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe story of a Commie town made up of ex-Nazis prospering in the middle of America is hard to swallow, but as sheer entertainment value this one somehow works. |
| User ReviewRon BInteresting "cold war" thriller, nicely shot and directed by legendary production designer William Cameron Menzies. |
| User ReviewJason MThis movie is so bad....that it's difficult to stop watching! The background music is annoying as its mysterious monotony doesn't stop throughout. It's interesting to see Raymond Burr in this. The acting of the entire cast is plastic. The "over-acting" is on the level of a high school drama class or sci-fi B-movie of the same era. The film was originally filmed to deal with a quiet American town with Nazis and Hitler, but when Howard Hughes, who owned RKO at the time, he stated that Nazis are no longer our enemy but Communists are. So, they had to re-shoot all pertinent scenes about a Communist takeover plot! My favourite scene is the mad scientists room of old people aimlessly walking around, and referred to as grotesque by anyone who sees them...hilarious! |
