Aloft in his airship -- the zeppelin-like &NFi;Albatross&NFi_; -- the renegade Capt. Robur (Vincent Price) is on a mission to bring stability to the world. But his technique is slightly unconventional in that he uses weapons of war to wage peace. Screenwriter Richard Matheson based this adventure-filled sci-fi classic on the Jules Verne novels &NFi;Master of the World&NFi_; and &NFi;Robur the Conqueror&NFi_;. Charles Bronson co-stars.

Three tales of terror involve a grieving widower and the daughter he abandoned; a drunkard and his wife's black cat; and a hypnotist who prolongs the moment of a man's death.
