While the hot rodders and motorcyclists were having a rock-and-roll beach party, a barrel of radioactive material was unloaded from a passing ship. It plunged to the bottom and split against a jagged rock, oozing out a black liquid that covered a shapeless mass on the ocean floor. The monsters suddenly moved and became encrusted vicious creatures. Soon there were several monsters and they needed human blood to survive. Tina was the first victim, and football hero Hank Green and airhead Elaine Gavin enlisted the aid of her science-professor father, Dr. Gavin, to solve and capture the killer. Dr. Gavin found an arm lost by one of the monsters and discovered that only sodium will destroy the monsters whose composition is mostly water. Can they gather enough salt in southern California to put an end to this horror?
