Dr. James Xavier is a world renowned scientist experimenting with human eyesight. He devises a drug, that when applied to the eyes, enables the user to see beyond the normal realm of our sight. It also gives the user the power to see through objects. Xavier tests the drug on himself and when his funding is cut off he takes refuge in a small carnival run by Crane. As he continues to test the drug on himself, Xavier begins to see not only through walls and clothes, but through the very fabric of reality. (texte officiel du distributeur)

A likeable low-budget Corman-flick about a doctor who, after experimenting on himself, gains X-ray vision that allows him to see up women's skirts, give people medical diagnoses for money, and hustle blackjack dealers in gambling halls. However, his murderous act and the worsening condition of his eyes lead the story to a bleak ending. The effects are appropriate to the budget, people's insides are painted, and lechers don't get to see women's naked parts because Corman chastely occupies them from the head down to at most a few centimetres below the chin. Former acting celebrity Ray Milland, once an Oscar-winning actor (and later mired in B-movie projects) is as reliable as ever in the lead role; this wasn't his first collaboration with Corman.
