Creature from the Black Lagoon
“From the Amazon's forbidden depths came the Creature from the Black Lagoon.”
When scientists exploring the Amazon River stumble on a “missing link” connecting humans and fish, they plan to capture it for later study. But the Creature has plans of his own, and has set his sights on the lead scientist's beautiful fiancée, Kay.
