A B-movie creature feature that blends Cold War paranoia with pulp sci-fi horror, pitting ordinary people against a Nazi scientist's grotesque biological weapon.

An alcoholic actress, her personal assistant, and their pilot are downed on a secluded isle by bad weather, where a renegade Nazi scientist is using ocean life to develop a solvent for human flesh. The tiny flesh-eating sea critters that result certainly give our heroes a run for their money - and lives.
