Plenty of portent, opening scene finds Torben Meyer as Gaston the night watch at a Quebec industrial site, Patricia Owens the maybe-mad wife of his boss, Vincent Price her suave brother-in-law on the phone, Kurt Neumann directing the original The Fly, 1958.

Vincent Price is Francois, a Quebec industrial scientist, Patricia Owens his sister-in-law Helene, acting serene but claiming to have squished his brother and partner in an industrial press, Herbert Marshall the incredulous Inspector Charas, interruption by an insect, in the original The Fly, 1958.

In a flashback, Helene (Patricia Owens) recalls how her scientist husband Andre (Al Hedison), whom she later crushed, with his cooperation, with industrial machinery, first showed her his expanded lab and his breakthrough in transporting matter, in 20th Century-Fox’s original The Fly, 1958.

Totally focused on his new invention, Canadian research scientist Andre (Al, a.k.a. David Hedison), excited over having successfully transported a newspaper, is inspired to try again with the family cat, the first major mishap, in the original The Fly, 1958, from the George Langelaan short story.
