At the Trent residence, Paula Trent notices Jeff isn't his usual self. Jeff tells Paula he saw a flying saucer. He tells her he is upset because the military made him promise to keep the flying saucer a secret. A flying saucer flies over both the cemetery and Trent house. Jeff leaves to go to work, but tells Paula he doesn't like leaving her at home. Mack, a friend of Jeff, calls Paula to make sure she is alright and after she hangs up the phone she is attacked by the dead widower. Paula runs into the cemetery and is surrounded by the dead old woman, the widower and the corpse of Inspector Clay. She runs to the road and collapses. A man driving a car finds her, puts her in his car and drives away. Colonel Edwards and Lieutenant Harper visit the Trent's and ask Paula and Jeff about their experiences with the flying saucers. They hear a noise and Patrolman Kelton, who was waiting at the police car is attacked by the widower's corpse. The aliens disable the signal and the widower collapses into a skeleton. They all go to the cemetery. Edwards, Harper and Jeff search the cemetery, while Paula stays with Kelton. Eros realizes Edwards, Harper and Jeff will find the flying saucer in the cemetery soon. He tells Tanna to send Inspector Clay's corpse to attack Kelton and Paula. Clay's corpse attacks Kelton and grabs an unconscious Paula. Larry shows up to the cemetery and finds Kelton. Kelton tells Larry he saw Clay's corpse and they go to find where the Harper went. They see Clay's corpse holding Paula and Larry has the plan to hit Clay while Kelton grabs Paula. Larry hits the corpse of Clay and it collapses.
