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.

Fleming and Bridger have discovered that the messages are coming from the constellation Andromeda. With the help of the computer, the scientists end up producing a synthesized living organism. Bridger is soon arrested after it is found out that he was the one selling the secret information, but he ends up escaping.
