Background

Susan "Susanna" Lowry is a marine researcher. She is engaged to Dr. Rick Torres.


During the events of Octaman (1971) played by Pier Angeli

Rick tells Susan that the locals have already absorbed 100 times the safe levels of radiation. Mort Stein walks up to Rick 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 Rick mentions the octopus is supposed to be one of the most intelligent species in the ocean. After returning from Vallejo, Susan, Rick, Johnny Caruso and Steve Dodd take an RV to the camp site and find it almost deserted. They take the RV on a path along the lake. Susan is standing near the lake and tells Rick she is afraid. The next day, Davido tells Rick and Mort he has found another baby Octaman and they follow him out of camp. Susan runs off and Steve follows her. The rest of the group return and find Johnny injured. Rick asks Johnny what he saw, but he tells him he didn't see anything. The Octaman attacks the camp and Susan and Johnny run into the RV. Johnny shoots at the Octaman while Susan bangs on the horn and the Octaman walks away into the lake. Susan goes to look for Davido, but can't find him. The Octaman returns to camp and attacks Johnny when he opens the RV door. Susan throws a lantern at the Octaman, but he grabs her and carries her away. Rick and Steve surround the Octaman and shine their flashlights in its face. Rick makes a circle with gasoline around the Octaman and grabs Susan and runs away. At night Mort brings up the story of the Beauty and Beast to Susan. The Octaman gets loose from the net it had been caught in and Susan tells the Octaman to get back and it listens to her and leaves. Johnny again suggests they leave and Davido tells them of a place it might hide. They break camp and as they are trying to remove a fallen tree across the road, Davido goes searching for the Octaman. He calls to the others when he sees it go inside of a cave. They encounter the Octaman in the cave and as they are chasing it, they are trapped in a rockslide caused by the Octaman. Davido finds a small shaft and he follows it outside. He then crawls back to the others and tells them the shaft leads outside and the others crawl out of the shaft. They make it outside and see they are right at the RV. As Mort opens the door, he is attacked by the Octaman. Steve, Johnny and Davido are also knocked to the ground. Susan calls to the Octaman and it walks to her and picks her up. Steve checks on Johnny and sees that he is dead. As it is taking her towards the water, she pulls out a gun and shoots it in the chest and it drops her. The others then shoot at the Octaman and it walks mortally wounded into the water.
