Fireball

In a tense and gripping drama of the atomic age, a dedicated industrialist brings home a secret weapon he has built, while his wife, isolated in a world she cannot understand, learns of its catastrophic potential. Despite his success, he is tormented by its implications and finally resolves to halt the project.

A committed businessman creates a dangerous atomic weapon and takes it to his house, but his wife feels alone and confused in a world that doesn't make sense to her. When she finds out how much damage the weapon could cause, her husband becomes troubled by what he has made, even though he succeeded, and decides he must stop the project.

The country’s biggest developer of new military weapons, Ben Cantwell, insists that his wife fire the blacksmith working on their estate, one Joe Vulcan. She refuses, because her intuition tells her that Vulcan, who is lame but very young in appearance despite his many years, might be the ancient God of Fire visiting Earth disguised as a mortal. Such a visit usually means trouble for the people he calls on, and she foresees trouble for her husband and his new horrible “fireball” weapon.
