In the tradition of 1950s science fiction, a meteor crashes to earth and a toxic substance is released. A drifter captures some of the ooze and utilizes it to take control of the local town. The substance from another planet has cloning powers and its effect on the townsfolk has them develop religious sensibilities and a fixation for the drifter in this independent sci-fi comedy lensed in South Australia.
