A young German (Max Schell) feels so guilty about his part in the war that he becomes a dope addict.

He has a fight with his ex-Nazi father (Fredric March), then a reconciliation. Then both men commit suicide...

But in the hands of Harvard and M.I.T. scientists, it will probe far beyond the frontier of present physical knowledge. No one knows what waits to be found in this dark region, but physicists are sure it is packed with wonderful secrets...
