The Chicago Lake effect in action

The Illinois town of Ludlow (which mysteriously looks like Griffith Park, CA) is wiped off the map. International reporter Audrey Aimes (Peggie Castle) just happened to be passing by on a different assignment. She has a nose for news, and when you run into a roadblock of several military vehicles and no explanation, you may suspect something is up. While investigating something that, of course, she intuitively knows is related to radioactivity, she is naturally stonewalled by the great Sci-Fi military actors of the time, Gen. John Hanson (Morris Ankrum) and Col. Tom Sturgeon (Thomas Browne Henry) Who can Audrey turn to for help? Who else dabbles in radiation? Yep, it is entomologist Dr. Ed Wainwright (Peter Graves) with his deaf-mute sidekick Frank (Than Wyenn). She admires his big uh... strawberries. He explains, even though Frank was o.k. last year, that radiation is harmless. So, what wiped out a local warehouse and the town of Ludlow? This is another great Bert I. Gordon film; you will recognize his signature and the great amount of money and time thrown at this epic. Effects do not have to be as sophisticated as Ray Harryhausen or any of that cartoonish CGI. All you need is a photo of Chicago and a few hundred imported Texas (male) grasshoppers.
