What happens

Devil Girl from Mars is a 1954 British second feature black-and-white science fiction film directed by David MacDonald and starring Patricia Laffan, Hugh McDermott, Hazel Court, Peter Reynolds, and Adrienne Corri. The screenplay was by James Eastwood-based (per on-screen credits) on a play by John C. Mather and Eastwood, and was produced by the Danziger Brothers. It was released by British Lion and released in the United States the following year. A female alien is sent from Mars to acquire human males to replace their declining male population. When negotiation, then intimidation, fails she must use force to obtain co-operation from a remote Scottish village where she has landed her crippled flying saucer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
