Plane crash survivors are discovered wandering through “The Desert of Death.” Grant, the pilot, regains his senses in the hospital and relates a tale of Horror.

Also in the fantastic cast of characters is manly Z-movie stalwart Allan Nixon (Prehistoric Women), Richard Travis (Missile to the Moon), diminutive actors John George and Angelo Rossitto, as well as Ed Wood principals Delores Fuller and Mona McKinnion.
