Synopsis:
When the entire populations of two nearby cities are found suddenly dead, the Spectre begins to search for the cause. His investigation leads him to a group of aliens, intent on killing humans to extend their own lives. The Spectre opposes them, but finds that they possess the power to immobilize him. With supreme effort, the Spectre overcomes the forces impeding him. Then he races back to Earth to stop the invasion and banish the aliens.
