Il professor Gerald Deemer sta lavorando ad una sostanza altamente nutriente. I suoi esperimenti danno risultati sufficienti ma anche alcuni problemi. Un giorno lo scienziato decide di sperimentare la formula iniettandola su due colleghi, col risultato che dopo pochi giorni le sue cavie muoiono. Prima di morire, uno di questi, divenuto pazzo, riesce ad iniettare il siero nel corpo dello stesso professore. Durante la lotta, una tarantola gigante, a cui è stata iniettato il potente intruglio, riesce a fuggire dal laboratorio, seminando terrore e attaccando animali e persone.

Tarantula (1955)
80 min
A rogue scientist near a small desert town arouses the suspicion of the town's doctor when his lab assistant is found dead from a case of acromegaly, which took only four days to develop. As the doctor investigates, aided by the scientist's new female assistant, they discover that something is devouring local cattle and humans in increasingly large quantities.
