Professor Cole has invented a magic torch (flashlight) which breathes life into inanimate objects. Kurt Wagner tries to steal it for his boss, Steiger, and kills the professor. Tom Cole is captured by Wagner and his henchmen. He uses the Torch on a giant statue (Colossus) and brings it to life. Colossus vows to serve Tom and assists him in bringing down Wagner and Steiger. In the final showdown, Tom uses the torch on the villains in a reverse setting. They are turned to stone and exhibited, along with the Colossus, in an unspecified London gallery. Tom throws the torch into the ocean.
