Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo


A plane carrying coffee beans from South America crashes in California, releasing a hoard of tarantulas into an orange-producing town. The spiders are responsible for several deaths and descend upon the town’s only orange-processing factory. The town’s citizens risk their lives to remove the tarantulas from the factory, while the poisonous pests are rendered motionless by the transmitted sound of buzzing bees.
