A: During a high school track meet, Laura (Ruth Ann Llorens), a female runner, is pushed by the crowd and her demanding coach (who keeps screaming "move it, move it, move it!"). Apparently the pressure is too much for Laura who collapses right after crossing the finish line and breaking a 30 second 100 meter race. Upon examination by the coach and her teammates, Laura is dead.Some days later, Anne Ramstead (Patch Mackenzie), returning to town on leave from the U.S. Navy, is getting a ride into town from a sleazy truck driver. She asks to be dropped off when she sees a girl running by. The girl, Paula, runs into a wooded area with her earphones on.

Problem: Build a movie plot around this: Where does Twill stab the giant mollusk? Twill stabs it in the eye with a grappling hook

A: The title and credits are shown over a night view of the Salton Sea in California. We open with an aerial view of the Salton Sea (daytime). The narrator tells us, "This is the Salton Sea in Southern California. A strange phenomena in which nature has placed 400 square miles of salt water in the middle of an arid desert. In the desert close to shore of the sea the government has established one of its most important Naval Research Bases. At the laboratory on the secluded south tip of the base top secret atomic experiments are carried out under rigid security controls." An earthquake rocks the base. A few hours later the base if back to normal, but under the Salton Sea a fissure has opened. A parachute jump is executed over the sea. The recovery team in a patrol boat is waiting to pick up Lt. Hollister. Seamen Fred Johnson (Jody McCrea) and Howard Sanders (William Swan) spot the plane and steer towards the jumper. All they see when they arrive is the parachute. Johnson dives into the water to search for Hollister. Johnson surfaces, then dives under the boat to get to the other side. He does not resurface, but Sanders is confronted by something we only briefly see as a shadow that causes him to recoil in horror. He screams. The land radio operator, Seaman Wyatt (Charles Tannen) tries to re-establish contact with the patrol boat. Unsuccessful, he calls Naval Intelligence. Sally (Wallace Earl credited as Eileen Harley) answers the call. Wyatt eventually talks to Lt. Cmdr. John "Twill" Twillinger (Tim Holt). He and Lt. Robert "Clem" Clemens (Harlan Warde) take a boat out onto the sea to investigate. They spot the deserted boat and pull up along side. The body of seaman Sanders is on deck. He is dead. There is no sign of the other crewman or the parachutist. Twill notices a sticky white residue on the port side of the boat. He directs Clem to, "Look at this stuff." They take a sample. Hollister's body surfaces and they notice that his skin is dark and his eyes bugged out. He has a shriveled appearance.They return to...
