After their takeover, Kauffman explains, humanity will lose all emotions and sense of individuality, creating a simplistic, stress-free, superior world.Īfter scuffling with and knocking out the aliens (Kauffman, Belicec and Grivett), Bennell and Becky escape from the office. They reveal that an extraterrestrial life form is responsible for the invasion and that the pods-capable of replicating any life form-traveled through space and landed in a field. Kauffman and Belicec, both of whom are now also "pod people," arrive at Bennell's office with new pods for Becky and Bennell. They listen as Nick Grivett (the chief of police) (Ralph Dumke) directs the others to take them to neighboring towns to be planted and used to replace their populations.
The next morning, Bennell and Becky watch from the office window as truckloads of the giant pods arrive in the town center. They hide at Bennell's office for the night, vowing to stay awake so as not to be replaced by their duplicates. Bennell and Becky soon realize that all of the town's inhabitants have been replaced and are devoid of humanity. Bennell tries to make a long-distance call to federal authorities for help, but the phone operator claims that the long distance lines are all busy and the call can't be put through so Jack and Teddy drive off to seek help in the next town. They conclude that the townspeople are being replaced while asleep with exact physical copies. The following night, Bennell, Becky, Jack, and Jack's wife Teddy (Carolyn Jones) again find duplicates of themselves, emerging from giant seed pods in Bennell's greenhouse. Kauffman to the scene, the bodies have mysteriously disappeared, and Kauffman tells Bennell that he is falling for the same hysteria. Later, another body is found in Becky's basement that is her exact duplicate. Inexplicably, the body has no discernible facial features or fingerprints but, to their horror, within a short period of time it begins to take on the exact physical features of Belicec. That evening, Miles and Becky are urgently called to the home of Bennell's friend, Jack Belicec (King Donovan), who has found what appears to be a dead body in his home. Dan Kauffman (Larry Gates) assures Bennell that these cases are merely an "epidemic of mass hysteria." Becky's cousin Wilma (Virginia Christine) expresses the same fear about her Uncle Ira, with whom she lives. Returning from a trip, Miles meets his former girlfriend, Becky Driscoll (Dana Wynter), who has recently come back to town after a divorce. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) sees a number of patients apparently suffering from Capgras delusion-the belief that their relatives have somehow been replaced with identical-looking impostors. The man identifies himself as a doctor, and recounts, in flashback, the events leading up to his arrest and arrival at the hospital. Hill (Whit Bissell), is called to the emergency room of a California hospital, where a screaming man is being held in custody.

As each pod reaches full development, it assimilates the physical traits, memories, and personalities of each sleeping person placed near it these duplicates, however, are devoid of all human emotion.
