Wells' novel, Joan Collins is an agressive land developer trying to turn a swampy island into an exclusive residential community.

The night of Marilyn's gala opening arrives, and the ants are ready. With a vicious persistence, the monsters attack the guests, cutting off there only means of escape. Forced into the jungle, their only hope of survival is a risky, one-in-a-million chance that could destroy them all. Director Mr. BIG (Bert I.
