A bite from a giant spider turns a man (Alex D'Arcy) into a creature that terrorizes a group of women who survived a plane crash.
En route to a show in Singapore, a troupe of beautiful dancers are stranded on a deserted island by a plane crash. Their routine of skinny-dipping and devising new skimpy outfits is interrupted when a radioactive spider bites their manager and turns him into a wild-eyed, furry-faced monster with three fangs and a passion for strangling.
Director: Fritz Böttger
