The shock prevents Patrick from remembering what happened, and he is assigned to young psychiatrist Victoria Juno for help.

During the 1980s a black market shipment of exotic animals docks at Emerald Isle, North Carolina.

Annie is killed by the creature and Victoria and Patrick barely escape, revealing that there are several more dragons.

Driving frantically, they nearly crash into Oates and his maintenance co-worker Denby (Paul Gleeson), who were sent to kill the reptiles.

Oates and Denby tend to Martin, who is succumbing to infection from wounds caused by bacteria in the Komodo's saliva.

The group travel to the oil company office station to seek shelter and get medicine for Martin.

They later find Patrick and Victoria tells him the oil company knew of the Komodos, but covered it up to protect themselves, and that his parents' death was not his fault.

Oates lures the dragon into leaking oil/gasoline and attempts to kill it by igniting the oil with one of Denby's cigars.

The dragon escapes the fire and rushes after Victoria, but she kills it by using a rock to bash part of a broomstick handle into its head that she earlier injured it with.

Oates turns up at the station alive and steals the helicopter to leave Bracken on the island with the creatures.

However, Oates flies overhead in the helicopter and shoots a flare gun into the Komodo dragon's mouth, incinerating it.

[2] A review in TV Guide stated "There's additional undeveloped twaddle about the lizards excreting "a super-infection", plus a "Patrick of the Jungle" subplot that comes out of nowhere and returns there.
