Hidden away in the woods, an elderly couple prepares dinner together. Things seem peaceful enough, until the husband goes outside to investigate a suspicious noise and is gutted alive by a fearsome alligator creature. The wife is next, as he slashes her throat and leaves her for dead. Wild and delirious, the creature takes off into the woods only to be captured by mysterious figures on horseback, who lasso him and wrangle him to the ground, dragging him mercilessly behind their horses and into the night.
