The Thing from Another World

In Anchorage, Alaska, journalist Ned Scott (Douglas Spencer) looks for a story. He visits the Military officers' club of a local military station and meets Captain Pat Hendry (Kenneth Tobey), a pilot, Lieutenant Eddie Dykes, co-pilot and friend of Scott's, and Ken "Mac" MacPherson, navigator. Station chief General Fogarty orders Hendry to fly to ''Polar Expedition Six'' at the North Pole per the request of its lead scientist Dr. Arthur Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite (actor)), who reports that an unusual aircraft has crashed nearby. With crew chief Bob, Corporal Barnes and a pack of sled dogs, the group fly to the outpost the next morning in their Douglas C-47, the ''Tropical Tilly''.
