A bleak post-nuclear survival tale where radiation-mutated creatures and human desperation threaten an isolated group sheltering in a remote valley.

After a nuclear attack, an unlikely group of survivors, including a geologist, a crook and his moll, and a prospector, find temporary shelter in the remote-valley home of a survivalist and his beautiful daughter, but soon have to deal with the spread of radioactivity - and its effects on animal life, including humans.
