Very boring sci-fi involving an alien visitor (John Carradine) coming to earth in a spherical UFO ostensibly to play chess with a boy stricken with polio (Jeff Morrow). No plot detectable in this outing. The military wants to capture the alien to force him to tell them the basis of his technology. Bruce Bennent is the local scientist called in for advice which is quickly discarded when it's determined that he's too interested in proceeding intelligently. Everybody takes the discovery of a ship and visitor from outer space matter-of-factly. Bad script, acting (with the exception of Bennent), and storyline add up to a waste of time.
