Ok story and acting. Some suspense. Terribly campy monster.
Legend has it a sea creature in the Mexican waters of the Pacific Ocean comes out by the light of a full moon to feed until he is appeased by the sacrifice of the fairest maiden. Unfortunately for our star, she is a blond American and fits the bill perfectly. Her persistence at proving the existence of the mysterious creature, however, sets her up to fulfill what natives may view as her destiny. Meanwhile her marine biologist lover who does not believe in the creature discovers that nuclear testing in the area may actually have created such a monster.
