Review Summary
There's something eating the residents of Exceptional Vista. The town fell on hard times after the nut factory closed. When a famous atomic scientist(Dr. Karl Lamonte) visits the town, the hotel owner tries to get something going with him. When people are found half eaten, Dr. Lamonte, the nutty policeman, and Miss Sally go looking for the culprit. They discover that aliens, disguised as door to door salesman, have come to eat them. The battle for survival then begins.
Gregor, Resident Scholar
