The plot revolves around a cosmetics company owner, played by Susan Cabot, who is concerned about the aging process. In her quest for eternal youth, she agrees to undergo an experimental treatment derived from the royal jelly of wasps. The treatment initially proves successful, but soon she experiences horrifying side effects, transforming into a monstrous wasp woman.

"The Wasp Woman" is a product of its time, reflecting the sci-fi and horror themes prevalent in the late 1950s. It's one of Roger Corman's contributions to the genre and is appreciated by fans of classic B-movies for its kitschy special effects and narrative quirks (1959).
