Synopsis

Dr. Warren succeeds in inventing a plastic skin that looks and feels like living tissue, and decides to create a radio-controlled synthetic man coated with the substance over a bullet-proof steel frame. But Warren's assistant is jealous and contrives to add his own touch to the synthetic man...a brain...his own brain, that will give him a measure of fame that he feels he deserves and control over the creature.
