In this incredibly inept film, a scientist spends plenty of screen time moaning and groaning about the fact that he has contracted a serious radiation sickness, which causes him to transform into a monster when he is exposed to sunlight. He just can't understand how engaging in dangerous experiments could result in such a catastrophe. This results in some unintentionally funny dialogue, such as, "No one can help me, what I've got is DIFFERENT! Why me? Why me? WHY ME!!"
Then something very odd happens. After the contaminated scientist gets through howling in despair, he goes for a long drive in the middle of the night to some bar. There, a sultry, gorgeous, blond named Trudy is playing the piano. Suddenly, he's a changed man. He forgets all about his troubles, and he even forgets he has a girlfriend, and starts going out with the blond bombshell. The sequences with the blond, played nicely by Nan Petersen, are the best part of the movie.
The scientist bounces back and forth between his dark haired girlfriend at the lab, and his girlfriend at the bar, occasionally forgetting the time and turning into the sun demon while in transit. This strange double life he's leading is presented as an "innocent" development which we can all understand, because he's sick and troubled, and what he's got "IS DIFFERENT"! Actually, these relationships he has are very superficially explored unfortunately, and one wishes Trudy had a larger part.
