While working at a construction site near a hotel, "Mike Carr" (Robert Foxworth) notices that two of his men are missing. Upon investigation the site he looks inside a pit and discovers a helmet belonging to one of them and immediately halts all operations in an effort to bring them back up to the surface. A little later his foreman "Vince" (Bernie Casey) begins to complain about some ants which have bitten him and caused his leg to go numb. Meanwhile, the owner of the Lakewood Manor hotel named "Ethel Adams" (Myrna Loy) has to contend with a similar issue as her cook has collapsed and died with what the authorities are convinced is a virus of some sort which necessitates the closing of the kitchen for a certain length of time. Needless to say, this doesn't help her or her daughter "Valerie Adams" (Lynda Day George) in their negotiations to sell the property to an unscrupulous real estate developer named "Tony Fleming" (Gerald Gordon) and his beautiful assistant "Gloria" (Suzanne Somers). Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this type of film was rather popular during this particular period and as a result it wasn't that unusual or spectacular. No doubt the low budget had much to do with this. Fortunately, it did have several attractive actresses in Karem Lamm (as "Linda Howard") and the aforementioned Lynda Day George and Suzanne Somers, so it wasn't a total waste of time. All in all, while it wasn't a bad film necessarily, it wasn't that good and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
