A campy 1960s beach-set creature feature that blends surfing culture with B-movie horror, balancing pulpy thrills against the era's sun-soaked aesthetic.

A young girl is killed at the beach in Malibu. Professor Otto Lindsay suspects that it is some form of mutated fish. However, his son Richard, who was a good friend of the girl, thinks that it is a madman who has a grudge against Richard and his friends. Soon the list of victims grows.
