Americans searching for the "cave of death" somewhere in the West Indies (judging by the appearance of "Mr. Calypso" Sir Lancelot, early on) find instead a cave full of zombies feasting on fungi. A scientist experimenting with fungi on locals is to blame, in a sort of variation of the Island of Dr. Moreau. Subpar special effects sink it, particularly the cave of death, which looks more like a cave of soap suds.
