A gangster framed for murder escapes from the police, and ends up on the site of an explosion of a new nuclear bomb. As a result his body combines with steel to make him unkillable, and he seeks out the men who framed him.
Save for the method by which the gangster becomes indestructible, the above plot description bears a strong similarity to the Lon Chaney Jr. vehicle, THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN. Ultimately, I think this one is somewhat more effective; the characters are better developed, it's certainly better directed, and it's better thought out and more realistic than the earlier movie. It does have a few problems, mostly because it's pace is rather sluggish at times, but I found it a lot easier to feel for the characters in this one; despite his determined focus on revenge, I did feel enough sympathy for Ron Randell's character that the ending is a little sadder than it would have otherwise been. It's also fun to see Morris Ankrum again (not as a general, but a cop), and Gregg (FROM HELL IT CAME, THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US) Palmer is also on hand.

"Flamboyant mob chief Eddie Candell (Ron Randell), who was framed for murder by jealous associate Andy Damon (Anthony Caruso), makes a break while on his way to the death house. Fleeing across the desert, he suddenly finds himself on an atomic testing range, just as an experimental bomb goes off. Instead of being killed instantly, Eddie is bombarded by radiation from Cobalt Isotope X, a newly discovered element that leaves him alive but transformed -- reacting to the radiation and the steel of the handcuffs on his wrists, his body takes on the hardness of steel and can absorb the metal on contact, including any bullets that might be fired at him. In addition to making him all but indestructible, the mutation gives Eddie the strength of ten men, which he uses to tear his way through the ranks of his former associates, terrorizing the woman (Debra Paget) who betrayed him and crushing the life out of anyone who gets in his way as he tries to get to Damon. However, his psyche has been affected as well; he was already consumed by a desire for revenge, but he slowly loses any ability to perceive pleasure or compassion as he slowly transforms into a kind of living metal and the body count around him rises. Only Carla Angelo (Elaine Stewart), his girlfriend and also a genuinely "nice" girl, can reach him, and she must decide whether to help to try and save him or to destroy him. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide"
