Prepare to squirm, shiver, and giggle with this unbelievable camp comedy monster bash! Herman Umgar (Herb Robins), an eccentric club-footed hermit with a fondness for night crawlers, lives in an old windmill house on the banks of a dried-up lakebed. Upon learning that only Herman stands in the way of a new condominium development, the town mayor and several businessmen conspire to get rid of this human obstacle by having him committed to the local loony bin. However, Herman's worm breeding pays off when he unleashes hordes of his wriggling friends to infiltrate the town's food and water supply - and soon the entire population goes worm crazy!
