The film opens to the scene of an old, dark house in a stormy night. In the nearby woods, two hunters are caught in the raging thunderstorm. Their conversation reveals that every night of the previous three months had its own storm, which the hunters find to be unnatural weather. They decide to seek refuge in Willows House, identifying the old house, which is supposedly abandoned and haunted. When they reach Willows House, they find it to be occupied and the current owner repeatedly denies them hospitality. One of the hunters attempts to use his rifle to force his entry into the house, but at this point a menacing giant played by Tor Johnson appears and scares the intruders away.The camera follows the owner of the house to its interior. A secret passage, behind the fireplace, leads to a secret laboratory within Willows House. From a small window, the owner observes the resident monster of the house a giant octopus. The monster is released from its tank and sent after the intruders. Soon one of the fleeing hunters is killed by the octopus, while the other is captured by the giant man. Back in the House, the captive and through him the audience is introduced to its human residents. The owner is a scientist, Dr. Eric Vornoff Bela Lugosi, and the giant is his mute assistant, Lobo Tor Johnson. The captive sits on an operating table, an unwilling test subject in a human subject experiment. Vornoff helpfully explains that the experiment will either give the captive the strength of twenty men, or kill him. Which is what happened to Vornoffs previous test subjects. The man dies on the operating table and the scientist is left visibly disheartened. His experiment has failed. ........
