About
A group of scientists travel to a remote island to study the effects of nuclear weapons tests, only to get stranded when their airplane mysteriously explodes. The team soon discovers that the tests have given rise to crabs mutated into intelligent, impervious, telepathic giants intent on increasing their numbers by breeding, then travelling to populated areas to feed, and which do not intend to be stopped by their discoverers.

Dr. Karl Weigand
Any matter, therefore, that the crab eats will be assimilated in its body as solid energy, becoming part of the crab.
Martha Hunter
Like the bodies of the dead men?
Dr. Karl Weigand
Yes - and their brain tissue, which, after all, is nothing more than a storage house for electrical impulses.

Debate on Capturing a Dangerous Specimen
Martha Hunter
Doctor, you're not going to suggest that we save it for science? That would be suicide!
Dr. Karl Weigand
No, thank you, Martha. I have no ambition toward becoming a mad scientist, but I do think we ought to try and capture the thing. Would you not like to examine a live specimen?
Martha Hunter
Certainly I would, but I had a chance to see how the "specimen" examined the lab wall last night.
