Raquel Welch plays a competitive skydiver, who is recruited out of the blue by British spies to help retrieve an H-bomb from Sino-Russo agents... Simple enough mission; parachute in, drop off a transmitter & go home....
But things take a turn when she finds a dead body, & the enemy agents threaten to blackmail her.... They also find out there's another spy involved...
Soon, all three parties are telling the same story about each other, and the booty changes from a bomb to a stolen piece of art...
Deliberately goofy, with some intense action sequences, I give it a thumb up....

Uh, yeah, NO MONSTERS, just a pair of foo-fighters that possess a bickering middle age couple who happen to be wearing jumpsuits.... They get possessed while driving, so they get in a wreck & never bother to clean up....
Meanwhile, scientists at a nearby missile lab are frustrated by constant failures... A young scientist suggests space critters, which earns him the scorn of his elders... The lead scientist is also not fond of this guy dating his niece....
Later that night, the scientists are on a double date, when the protagonist hears static on the radio, which he identifies as an illegal transmitter, and concludes it must be the aliens....
Gets a bit exploitive for an early '60s TV movie, starts to muddle real bad about halfway through, and the low budget really shines through... Still makes for an interesting curio.....
