Starring: Susan Anspach, Robin Duke, Steve Railsback

An oversexed senior citizen gets bit by some kind of a bug in his gal's greenhouse. He collapses a few minutes later and is rushed to hospital. While he's on the examining table some kind of worm-like larva thing crawls out of his oral cavity. He croaks soon after from a mysterious disease. His antique babe and a few others start showing symptoms so they're put in isolation. The old gal and her friend decide to suck back a bottle of booze to celebrate the old geezer's passing.

There is also a cop there that has a gut-shot partner in surgery. He is soon to become our hero and saviour.

One of the two sexy female doctors grabs the worm and sends it down to the lab. Like how come all my doctors look like the guy that spit out the worm instead of the sassy lookin' ladies that occupy this hospital?

Meanwhile, a blood sample is sent to a New York disease control centre to be analyzed. They issue a Code 4 and and have the military surround the hospital to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the place. This of course causes a panic within the hospital. One poor sucker tries to jump out a second floor window and is blown away for his trouble.

The worm is later sliced open to reveal that it actually contains some kind of unknown bug. Of course a nutty bug doctor is called in for some comic relief and maybe even to identify the bug. The gorgeous lab technician is told to keep her eyes on the bug and not to leave it alone for even a second. So what does she do? She and this dopey moron sneak out to smoke a joint for half an hour. While they're gone these snot nosed little kids that have free reign over the hospital enter the lab and dump a bottle of growth hormone into the bugs container and take off. You see, in this hospital anyone can roam around as they please.

Now this hormone crap stuff works quick. Lab babe and the moron return and decide to perform a little hanky panky on one of the tables. The now great big bug looks at those luscious gyrating loins and decides to have them for lunch. It then disappears into the basement to lay a couple of thousand eggs.

The cop, a sexy doctor, a kid and the nutty bug doctor now try to figure out a way destroy the insect. They chase the bug and the bug chases them throughout the catacombs of the basement.

Finally the bug is trapped in the laser room. Now you've just gotta see this laser. It's the size of a 737 jetliner. I mean you could cut Mount Everest in half with this sucker. Anyway, they crank it up, even though there's a power outage going on at the time, then turn it on the bug and burn the hell out of it, saving humanity.

It is also discovered that the two old babes that sucked back the booze are no longer showing signs of the mysterious disease. What a great cure. I guess old Punchy don't ever have to worry about gettin' that disease.

Although many put this one down, we didn't mind it. There's a fair amount of action and the big bug is as good as any of the monsters that have shown up lately in the lower budget flicks.
