An American rocketship returning from Venus crashes in the sea off the coast of the small Sicilian fishing village of Gerra. The local fishermen rescue two survivors. Meanwhile a young boy Pepe finds a specimen container that has a pod inside it and sells it to biologist Dr Leonardo. But the pod soon hatches into a reptilian creature. The creature rapidly grows in size and is soon threatening livestock and people. The American military succeed in capturing it, but in Rome it escapes captivity and rampages through the city.
