A bunch of nasty poisonous variety of tarantula come up from Ecuador in a plane
piloted by Tom Atkins and Howard Hesseman. The eight legged critters snuck
aboard their plane with a cargo of coffee, and three illegal aliens. But the
tarantulas do their dirty work on the plane and it comes in a ghost ship, just
like Renfield and those rats in Dracula, a much better movie.
The creatures which seem to multiply exponentially upon arriving in California farm country make for the warehouse where the oranges are stored. As the towns people discover what has descended upon them it's Fire chief Claude Akins has to figure out a way to kill the bugs without destroying the oranges in this one crop economy town. After all can't let the Department of Agriculture know. They might just kill all the oranges and the mayor of this place Bert Remsen says that just can't be.
I'm not sure of the science in all of this. All the actors including some very known players besides those already mentioned just seem to be sleepwalking their way through this gobbler.
