Plot summary

A scientist (David Hedison) has an horrific accident when he tries to use his newly invented teleportation device. As he attempts to transport himself, a fly gets inside the machine and a malfunction results in a half man, half fly hybrid - a human with a fly's head - being transported. The creature is ultimately destroyed. In the famous twist ending, the scientist's original head, now on the fly's body, is seen in a spider's web, screaming "Help me! Help me!" as the spider approaches.
