The extraterrestrial superhero Supersonic Man (Richard Yesteran) is sent down to earth because some evil villain called Doctor Gulik (Cameron Mitchell) tries to create a weapon so powerful that it threatens universal peace, and he has already abducted nuclear scientist Professor Morgan (José María Caffarel) and stolen large quantities of Iridium to that end. However, the professor is unwilling to cooperate with the baddie, which is why Gulik is hell-bent on kidnapping Morgan's daughter Patricia (Diana Polakov) - but he has not taken into account the presence of Supersonic Man, who both as a superhero and as his human alter ego Paul (Michael Coby) has his hands full both saving Patricia time and again from Gulik and his henchmen and trying to prevent Gulik's organisation from stealing more and more Iridium ... and while all that is happening, Paul/Supersonic Man of course also falls in love with Patricia.

In the end, Gulik decides to lure Supersonic Man to his secret island hideout and tries to dispose of him using every trick in the book, like acidic gasses, hot molten lava and ice, but Supersonic Man wouldn#t be quite so super if he couldn't withstand everything Gulik throws at him ... and in the end, he lays Gulik's island to waste and therefore destroys his organisation and a major threat to universal peace ...

 

As the title already suggests, this is a film to cash in on the success of the then recent Superman: The Motion Picture, but made rather on the cheap. So the audience is subjected to a superhero in a silly costume, a silly looking robot that seems to have come right out of a 1950's boy's magazine, special effects that range from atrocious to even quite ok (some good miniature work here), dialogue that borders the ridiculous and a plot that is as clichéd as it is silly ... so in case you are wondering, yes this is a bad movie, but if you are into 1970's style juvenile trash, you might just find it hilarious. And Cameron Mitchell makes a good camp villain.
