Intent upon capturing "the Creature" (initially played by Ricou Browning) for research, "Dr. William Barton" (Jeff Morrow) leads an expedition to the Everglades where it had been last seen. With Dr. Barton is his wife, "Marcia Barton" (Leigh Snowden), "Dr. Thomas Morgan" (Rex Reason), "Jed Grant" (Gregg Palmer) along with several other doctors and crewmen. Although Dr. Morgan wants to conduct honest research on the creature, Jed Grant wants to kill it--and he wants Marcia as well. Meanwhile, Dr. Barton has his own personal agenda and also harbors a deep jealousy regarding anyone who comes near his wife. In any case, nobody in the expedition fully understands that "the Creature" (later played by Don Megowan) might be more dangerous than they realize. Now, as far as this film is concerned, I must say that it was slightly better than the second movie ("Revenge of the Creature"). Part of the reason for this was that there wasn't as much "dead time" in this one as there was in the second movie. Likewise, having an attractive actress like Leigh Snowden certainly didn't hurt. Be that as it may, I didn't think this film was quite as good as the first movie ("The Creature") of the trilogy and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
