The story revolves around scientists conducting experiments on transferring matter from other dimensions in a remote desert research lab.

However, things go awry when a container holding a creature from another dimension is opened, releasing a series of monsters that start rampaging and killing people.

The midget alien creature (Christopher Ray, the director's eight-year-old son) is depicted as a black reptile-like being with large beetle shells attached to it.

Additionally, there is mention of a snake-like creature that emerges from the container but is eventually killed by the character played by William Fair.

[1] Ray chose to make the alien smaller as he wanted to play against audience expectations of a large monster being a threat and instead present something that come more easily hide and pop out of tight spaces.
