In the year 1970, a new giant radio telescope is unveiled. As Professor Reinhart and his staff are testing it out something unexpected is heard beyond the usual background static of outer space and changes their lives.

The radio message received through the telescope has sent the country into panic mode. Scientists, military, and internationals are all competing to find out what the information contains. It seems that the only one with the answer is a young scientist named John Fleming.

Scientist John Fleming thinks the message from outer space is actually a plan to build a super computer. Unknown to him, his colleague, Dennis Bridger sells this secret information to an international cartel and soon someone following Bridger is murdered. The computer is eventually built, but the only one who can understand what it prints out is Fleming.
