[edit] Plot summary
A young couple marries, but almost from the start the bride notices her husband is acting strangely. He doesn't drink alcohol or show emotion. Marge also becomes concerned that she cannot get pregnant. She then notices that other townsfolk are acting the same way. One night she follows Bill when he goes for a walk and finds that he's not the man she knew but an alien meeting up with his like. He eventually explains to her that all the females from his planet were killed and that the aliens from another world are taking over earth male bodies so that they can mate with women. Marge is horrified and tries to warn others of the plot.
[edit] Review
A recent review on Scifi.com [1] summed up the movie like this: "I Married a Monster From Outer Space belongs next to the much better-known Invasion of the Body Snatchers on the roster of terribly titled science-fiction movies of the '50s that, when watched, turn out to be significantly better than anyone would have guessed."
