Aliens land in southern California to see if the planet is suitable for raising herds of large animals which will feed their world but destroy ours. One of them takes pity on us poor humans and tries to save us. He takes a room in town and falls in love with local teenager Dawn Anderson. They are chased by angry aliens with a trigger finger on a ray gun which instantly turns people into skeletons. Meanwhile, one of their animals is growing in a cave and threatens to overrun the city. The monster is not shown directly, but from its shadow appears to be a giant lobster. The alien makes a last minute sacrifice to save our planet. Despite the title, this is played completely straight. However, it is unintentionally hilarious with great entertainment value if you are in the mood for something "so bad it's good".
