What happens

The Milpitas Monster (alternately known as The Mutant Beast) is a 1976 independent monster movie directed by Robert L. Burrill. It began as a short film by Burrill, but expanded to a feature once he began receiving financial support from local business in Milpitas, California, US. The crew of the film consisted of an ensemble of Burrill's photography students over the years at Samuel Ayer High School. The cast was almost entirely made up of Milpitas locals; with the exception of cameos by Bob Wilkins and Krazy George Henderson, and opening narration by Paul Frees. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
