The members of an American dance troupe wash up on a rock in the Pacific when their plane crashes on its way to Singapore, and find they're not alone: There are spiders on the island. Laughably bad exploitation horror from Germany (actually shot in Yugoslavia), the kind of movie for which a MST3K track would be redundant. The spiders have big dark eyes. The dancers have conspicuous curves. The filmmakers pay way more attention to the dancers than they do to the spiders.
