A mysterious stranger (Dan O'Herlihy) enters a Manhattan bar and begins a discussion with the patrons on how to defeat Communism. Before long, a Red Alert is in effect, and America is being invaded by foreign troops, bombs are falling, and skyscrapers are crumbling. In the midst of it all, a reporter (Gerald Mohr) and a debutante (Peggie Castle) try to find love. Using stock footage, models, and more, producer Albert Zugsmith's film--made at the height of the Cold War--attempts to show audiences what World War III would look like as it occurred on American soil.
