Dr Sheppard (Richard Egan) is assigned to a secret scientific base in the desert to investigate a couple of unexplained deaths in the lab. Dr Van Ness (Herbert Marshall) is keen to show him the scientific marvel he commands, everything controlled by a computer. That includes a couple of robots (one of them called Gog which explains the mysterious title).
However, an unnamed foreign power has infiltrated the base and is using radio waves to gain control of the computer and the robots. Can Sheppard and Merritt (Constance Dowling) stop the robots from blowing up the base in an atomic explosion?
This is a marvellous feast for fans of early computing with it's punched paper tape controlled robots and IBM teletype terminals. The film makes great use of real scientific footage to appear as plausible as possible (especially for the time period and genre). This does make the film slow at times but it is well worth it. No aliens to scare you this time but plenty of SCIENCE.
