A B-movie creature feature that blends pulpy monster-rampage thrills with satirical jabs at urban decay and scientific hubris, played with tongue-in-cheek energy.

A baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives by eating discarded lab animals that have been injected with growth hormones. The now gigantic animal escapes the city sewers and goes on a rampage, pursued by a cop and a big-game hunter.
