That night, geologist Dick Cutler sees what he thinks is a meteor crash into the forest. But he does not see that out of the smoke from the impact emerges a beautiful glowing blonde female extraterrestrial in a skintight leotard who can kill by touch. </p><p>The gangsters hole up at Cutler's cabin. When the alien peeks through a window, Burdell orders Conley to go after her, but the alien kills Conley, his gunshots having no effect on her whatsoever. Burdell then goes out and runs into the alien himself. Although his gunshots are also ineffective, the alien walks away backwards, allowing Burdell to retrieve Conley's body. Back at the cabin, Cutler says that Conley died of "radium poisoning" and that by carrying his body, Burdell has taken a potentially lethal dose of radium and needs to get to a doctor before he dies. </p><p>Burdell decides they should flee that night, even though they will have to navigate a dangerous mountain road in Cutler's headlight-less Jeep. Before they can leave, the alien smashes through the cabin's window. Everyone runs outside. The alien catches Malone and kills her. When the alien tries to grab Burdell, he quickly sidesteps and she tumbles down an embankment. Burdell wrongly thinks she is dead. Cutler and Chaffee have already run back to the cabin. Burdell demands that they leave at once. But as they drive off, the extraterrestrial stops them and kills Burdell. </p><p>With all the gangsters dead, Cutler and Chaffee run to the cabin again. Cutler speculates that the alien's body is made of radium and platinum, which protect her from the Earth's atmosphere. He mixes an acid solution that will kill her. When she comes into the cabin, he throws the bottle of acid at her. She is killed and disintegrates. </p><p>However, a locket she was wearing is undamaged. Cutler finds in it a note, written in English, from the "Master of the Council of Planets of the Galaxy." It is an invitation to Earth to join the Council. Cutler now realizes that the alien was a peaceful emissary who killed only in self-defense. Chaffee says that the Council, with its "superior wisdom," will surely understand that their human nature caused them to fear the alien and that another emissary will no doubt be sent. Cutler agrees, although he asks rhetorically, "But will it come to bring us good will or simply avenge her death?" </p><p>By contrast, the voice-over in the introduction states "There is one planet in particular where its people fear that if the earth is not destroyed first it will destroy the universe. Already, these people have begun to take action."

Further, he notes that revealing at the end of the film that the She-Monster was actually a peaceful emissary doesn't work well within the narrative. "It adds nothing to the film and instead brings only into sharper relief all the rottenness of the picture, especially the hypocrisy of the filmmakers, which makes the movie seem far more distasteful than movies of the earlier '50s, including <i><a href="/wiki/Phantom_from_Space" title="Phantom from Space">Phantom from Space</a></i>, which is otherwise similar."<sup id="cite_ref-:0_3-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Senn takes issue with the way the movie looks on-screen. "Throughout the film, Ashcroft's direction remains flat, as he rarely moves the camera and fails to utilize even moderately interesting angles or setups."
