A group of people living in a small town in the north woods are suddenly confronted with a beast that has been awakened from a sleep of countless years... that ravages the countryside in search of human prey to satisfy its blood need. Doc Wednesday, played by Marshall Thompson, Ginny Glenn, played by Gloria de Haven, Sheriff Neal Rydholm, played by Aldo Ray and Dr John Warren, played by Leo Gordon, are caught in the centre of this drama. They are confronted with a horror so beyond belief that it seems inconceivable it could happen in these modern times.
