The Plot: A group of carefree teenagers, out for a bit of waterskiing, decide to visit a nearby island, where Morrie and Dot are to meet them later. On the island, the quartet of teens meet people slouching around like zombies, and happen upon a strane old house hidden in trees. Inside the mansion, they find mad scentist Dr. Myra (Katherine Victor), who is working for an unnamed foreign power. She is devising a drug that will transform people into obedient,zombie-like slaves. With the help of the U.F.P., she plans to drop the stuff into reservoirs all over the United States.
With the help of her servant and her pet gorilla, she imprisons the four teenagers with the intention of using them as subjects of further experiments. Meanwhile, unable to find their four friends, Dot and Morrie turn to the local Sheriff, who it turns out, is in league with Dr. Myra. He has been bringing people to her for her experiments, and delivers Dot and Morrie into her hands. Other representatives of the U.F.P. appear; Regg (Don Sullivan) manages to overpower everyone, the Sheriff is shot, Ivan turns on Dr. Myra and, as the six teenagers escape, blows everything sky high. Before the end, Ivan is even seen fighting the gorilla!
A poor excuse for a movie, with lousy acting, production values, and pedestrian direction. The less said about it the better.
