Plots:
Con artist Marilyn Fryser tries to sell phony real estate deals in an area that is overrun by giant ants.
Sleazy con artist Marilyn Fryser and her salesman, partner, and boyfriend Charlie Pearson try to sell phony real estate deals down in the Florida Everglades. What both they and their unsuspecting buyers do not know is that the area has been taken over by a colony of large ants.
A ship dumps barrels of radioactive waste material into the sea and one of them reaches the beach of the Dreamland Shores enterprise. Sleazy con artist Marilyn Fryser (Joan Collins) and her salesman, partner, and boyfriend Charlie Pearson (Edward Power) lure small-time investors, showing Dreamland Shores as if it were a good place to live and not worthless swampland. When the new group arrives in a boat, Marilyn and Charlie show them the places that will be built. Out of the blue, they are attacked by a colony of large ants and only a few survivors reach a small town. But soon they learn the secret of said town.
