The premise
When a narcotics deal goes sour and a suspect disappears, leaving only his clothes, Tokyo police question his wife and stake out the nightclub where she works.
Horror Vault's take
In the neon-lit underworld of 1950s Tokyo, a narcotics investigation takes a terrifying turn when suspects begin vanishing without a trace — leaving behind nothing but empty clothes. A scientist believes H-bomb testing has spawned something monstrous lurking in the city's waterways, but convincing a skeptical police force may prove as dangerous as the threat itself. Toho's atomic-age chiller blends hardboiled crime noir with visceral creature horror in a way that feels uniquely Japanese.
