Rancher Cole Hillman is fed up of rabbits plaguing his fields. Zoologist Roy Bennett conducts an experiment to curb their population, but it gives rise to giant rabbits that terrorise the town.

A mutilating knife-killer haunts the small Southwest-desert town of Mescal.

When the Sheriff proves unable to solve the case, the town leaders invite Investigator Burns to unravel the mystery.
