Plot:
Boat Captain Thorne Sherman and his Black sidekick "Rook" Griswold (played by an actor named John Henry Dupree, whose nickname was "Judge" although he wasn't one) arrive to deliver supplies to a remote isolated island, inhabited by a scientist, his daughter, and his aides. Sherman soon learns that the scientist and company have created out-of-control, flesh-eating, monstrous giant shrews. A hurricane hits, and all the stranded humans become either meals for or meal-targets for the shrews.
