Plots: Four people attempt to stop a gigantic crocodile, who is terrorizing residents in Black Lake, Maine. Shortly after the horrifying underwater attack in Maine’s Black Lake, the local Fish and Game officer, Jack Wells, enlists the help of the New York City palaeontologist, Kelly Scott, to investigate. With only a mangled body as their starting point, Jack and Kelly embark on a dangerous mission to find the mysterious creature, as Sheriff Hank Keough, a mythology professor, and an eccentric inhabitant all want to locate the elusive predator first. But, something deadly is lurking beneath the silent pond, and it’s already taken a liking to the juicy human flesh. What is the secret of Lake Placid? In Maine, the diver Walt Lawson is researching beavers in the Black Lake with Sheriff Hank Keough when a creature attacks him. Hank pulls him to the boat, but Lawson lower members have been severed by the creature and are missing. His fellow Officer Jack Wells comes to the town to investigate what happened to Lawson. Meanwhile, in New York, the paleontologist Kelly Scott from the Museum of Natural History learns that her friend and co-worker Myra Okubo is having an affair with her boss and lover Kevin. He sends Kelly to the Maine to investigate a tooth retrieved from the rest of Lawson’s body. Initially she has friction with Hank and Jack, but they agree to let her go with them to the lake. Out of the blue, the wealthy mythology professor Hector Cyr, who is an expert in crocodiles, arrives in a hydroplane and convinces to join the trio in the investigation. When Deputy Burke has his head ripped off by the creature, Hank does not believe that a crocodile could have done it. Until he sees the reptile fighting a huge bear. Now he brings several deputies to help them to hunt down the 10 meters crocodile.
