Exterminator Spano is called to a department store by exec Amick when one of the customers is bitten in the changing room. Though he discovers there is a nest of super rats gathered beneath, the management shun his advice, so it is down to him and Amick to take them on themselves. Creepy horror with a gag-inducing rat-filled climax in a swimming pool.
