Lon Chaney Jr. plays Jeffrey Carter, an underpaid and exploited chemist who works for a highly unethical drug company president called Roger Graham(played by J. Carol Naish) After Jeff quits in frustration, Roger tries unsuccessfully to prevent him for working anywhere else. Desperate, Roger hires Jeff back, and puts him to work on a cure for a deadly strain of influenza, which requires him to travel to South America with his friend Dave Curtis(played by Lloyd Bridges)They discover a cure, but too late, as Roger puts an untested drug on the market that leads to deaths, including Jeff's young son...Enraged, he confronts Roger, who was also trying to steal his wife Mary! Much potential here that goes unrealized sadly, though the acting is fine, the budget is too low and running time too short to put this film over-the-top; a real shame that.
