A seemingly abandoned yacht drifts into New York harbour. Two police officers are sent to investigate, one of whom is murdered in grisly circumstances. The incident attracts the attention a local newspaper, and reporter Peter West is assigned to the case. While sniffing around for some clues, West bumps into the daughter of the man who originally chartered the boat, Anne Bowles, who hasn't heard from her father in some time, and is also interested in finding out how the boat came to arrive in New York . They decide to work together, and their investigations quickly point to the island of Matul, the last known location of Anne's father. With he the help of adventurous couple Brian and Susan, they set sail for the mysterious island, intent on uncovering the truth about the events leading to the boats strange arrival in New York and her father's disappearance.

What they discover is an island overrun by the living dead, and they, as well as the few remaining locals (including the resident quack, Dr Menard and his wife), must keep their wits about them to avoid the chomping jaws of the rampant flesh eaters.
