A B-movie creature feature from the atomic age that blends jungle adventure with radiation-spawned monster horror, driven by pulpy spectacle and period-appropriate sci-fi dread.

A test pilot is missing and a search party is sent out in the jungles of Mexico; however, while searching they uncover a monster in the jungle who became this way due to a dose of radioactivity.
