A globe containing fifty monster seeds lands on the deck of an aircraft. One of the sailors gives one to another sailor to suck on as a joke. Just like the chestburster in the film "Alien" this thing explodes out of the sailor after dehydrating him and falls into the ocean. The monster from Jupiter grows to enormous size and devours all the fish. It attacks Manhattan to eat people as a food source and the humans defeat it by anchoring one of its tentacles so that it cannot slip back into the ocean and blow up the one tentacle it was using to hydrate itself. The secretary of defense returns to his office only to learn that the cleaning lady has thrown the other forty-nine seeds into the garbage on their way to the ocean.

One of them comes up with the idea that they can construct a parachute and use an oxygen tank to supply enough thrust to allow one of them to return to Earth. They draw lots, but the loser kills the other two and successfully returns to Earth. He is shot dead by a farmer in his field who mistakes him for a spaceman.
