Swimming in on the tail of Jaws, but with teeth firmly in cheek, this is both an enjoyable story in its own right and an amusing take-off on fishy disaster stories.
Two Texan teenagers (Roger Richman and Janie Squire) find shelter for the night in an abandoned military research centre and go for a swim in the pool.

Meanwhile, Maggie McKeown (Heather Menzies) arrives in the vicinity, looking for two missing persons
Best line: “But Sir, they’re eating the guests”.
