Tonight's Stinker: Devil Girl from Mars(1954)
Tonight's Stinker
Devil Girl from Mars(1954)

An airplane explodes, and we never find out why, then roll opening credits....
So, a young woman working a bar is listening to news radio, where the story is about a meteor, a scientist who's gone to look for it, and a killer who just escaped prison.... She's working at a Scottish inn, with the owner, his wife, their preteen nephew, and a model for a guest....
The escaped killer, who has a history with the barmaid, winds up at the inn and she covers for him....
Meanwhile, the scientist & a reporter have gotten lost due to an outdated map & poorly marked country roads.... So they end up at the inn....
There's some character development (perhaps a bit too much), & then there's a ruckus outside.... While everyone's distracted, the killer makes a break for it, but later comes back for the barmaid..... The phone won't work, & the car stalls....
A woman in a black leather dress & a long cape comes out of the saucer & kills a mute with a limp who was put in this movie for this one scene, then she goes to the inn & tells everyone she's here to take over the Earth because there are no men left on Mars, so the rest of the cast spends the rest of the movie discussing ways to kill her.....
Not much on action or special effects, very talkie, lots of attempts at creating drama....
Takes some patience....
