The story is set in a small desert town in the American Southwest, where a group of teenagers is enjoying a typical day. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a meteor crashes near their town. Curious about the meteor, the teenagers investigate the crash site and discover a strange, gelatinous alien organism.

The alien organism quickly begins to grow and transform into a monstrous, tentacled creature with a taste for human flesh. It's impervious to conventional weapons, and its touch is deadly. As the creature rampages through the town, the teenagers find themselves in a fight for their lives.

With the local authorities initially unable to contain the menace, the teenagers take it upon themselves to battle the creature. They must rely on their wits and resourcefulness to outsmart the alien and find a way to stop its rampage (1958).
