When a small Illinois town vanishes off the map in a single night, IntrepidReporter Audrey Aimes (Castle) swoops in smelling a scoop. Ordered by the National Guard to sit on her story pending approval from the government, she begins investigating the goings-on, leading her to a U.S. Department of Agriculture farm and Dr. Ed Wainwright (Graves), who's been trying to eradicate world hunger by developing a greenhouse full of [[ILoveNuclearPower atomic-sized fruits and vegetables]][[note]]By which we mean vegetables grown to enormous size through the use of atomic power, ''not'' [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant vegetables the size of atoms]][[/note]]--which the local insect population keeps breaking into.

Continuing the investigation, Aimes and Wainwright eventually discover the culprit: LOCUSTS! BIG ONES!! Irradiated by the good doctor's atomic plants, the local locust population has been transformed into a NighInvulnerable swarm of eight-foot-plus bugs [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom of DOOM!]] The giant bugs begin chowing down on ([[SpecialEffectsFailure postcards of]]) the Illinois countryside and working their way toward UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}, while Wainwright tries to figure out how to stop them.
