Synopsis
Richard has not become an oceanographer as his father (a professor at the Oceanic Research Laboratory) has wished, and he spends his time surfing with his friends. He and his fiancée, Jane, find the mutilated body of a girl on the beach, and later, at a beach party, Mark, a loner, discovers that his friend Tom also has been murdered. The evidence points to a sea monster, and Mark is suspected of disguising himself and committing the crime. He begins to investigate and finds footprints that lead him to Richard's house, where Richard's young and attractive stepmother, Vicki, tries to seduce him. The monster suddenly enters the room and kills Vicki, but in its struggle with Mark is unmasked to reveal Otto, Richard's father. As the police approach, Otto escapes by automobile, but after a chase through Hollywood Hills, he crashes and dies.
