Detailed Synopsis
The narrator introduces who is leading an ecological expedition into a Latin America fishing community.
Dr. Rick Torres records a message that blood samples from the local people show evidence that atomic detonations have carried radiation to all parts of the world. Raul hands him the blood samples collected that day and Dr. Torres asks him if there is any chance of error. Dr. Torres tells Susan Lowry that the locals have already absorbed 100 times the safe levels of radiation. Mort Stein walks up to Dr. Torres with a water sample and shows him a baby Octaman in a bucket. Susan notes that the way the baby Octaman stares back denotes intelligence and Dr. Torres mentions the octopus is supposed to be one of the most intelligent species in the ocean. Dr. Torres then suggests they go back to the area Mort found it. They go to the river area Mort found it and Mort lets it go. The baby Octaman starts crawling towards the water and Dr. Torres tells Mort to grab it to take back with them to take to the research station in Vallejo to show to Dr. John Willard. Dr. Torres and Susan fly to Vallejo. Raul looks at another baby Octaman and calls it Number 2. The Octaman rises from the river and walks towards the camp. As Raul is starting to dissect the second baby Octaman, Octaman attacks and kills him and retrieves the baby Octaman and brings it back to the river. Dr. Willard is studying fish in an aquarium when Rick shows up with the baby Octaman. Rick shows Dr. Willard the baby Octaman, but it is dead. Dr. Willard doesn't see a connection between the baby Octaman and radiation, which Rick objects to.
