Plot:
Feminine hands with huge, non-human claws caress "Doc" Tucker (Allan Nixon). The next shot includes the face of the woman, Tarantella (Tandra Quinn). A brief kiss between her and Tucker ends with his lifeless body collapsing. A disembodied voice asks the audience: "Have you ever been kissed by a girl like this?
The proper narrative begins in the desert. The narrator (Lyle Talbot) mocks humanity, a race of puny bipeds claiming to own everything on Earth. Yet, insects outnumber them, and the hexapoda are likely to survive longer than humans. The narrator then claims that when men or women venture off "the well-beaten path of civilization" and deal with the unknown, the price of survival is the loss of sanity.
The film introduces its protagonists, Grant Phillips (Robert Knapp) and Doreen Culbertson (Mary Hill), lost in the "Muerto Desert. They are nearly dead from dehydration and sunburn when discovered by Frank (John Martin), an American oil surveyor, and his Mexican companion, Pepe (Chris Pin Martin).The two victims recover in the "Amer-Exico Field Hospital" somewhere in Mexico. Grant starts narrating his story to "Doc" Tucker, foreman Dan Mulcahey (Richard Travis), and Pepe.
The film flashes back a year earlier in Zarpa Mesa. Famous scientist Leland Masterson (Harmon Stevens) arrives, having accepted an invitation from a fellow scientist named Dr. Aranya (Jackie Coogan). Aranya has reportedly penned "brilliant" scientific treatises, and Masterson looks forward to meeting him. Aranya's theories genuinely intrigue Masterson, but Aranya states his work is not theoretical. He has already completed successful experiments creating both human-sized tarantula spiders and human women with the abilities and instincts of spiders. His creation, Tarantella, has regenerative abilities sufficient to regrow severed limbs. He expects her to have a lifespan of several centuries.His experiments have had less success in male humans, who become afflicted with disfiguring dwarfism.
