after they disturb its nest. That night, Hubs (Greg Wayne) is eaten by the crocodile after stealing one of its eggs, and hiding it in Claire (Caitlin Martin)'s backpack, letting the untied boat adrift. The local Sheriff (Harrison Young
) finds Hubs' severed hand the next day and is suspecting a local alligator farmer, Shurkin, of setting one of the alligators loose.
Later, the teens wake up in the middle of a swamp and can not find Hubs. Claire wants to leave without them because she is mad at her boyfriend, Brady (Mark McLachlan), thinking him to be having an affair with Sunny (Summer Knight), but she stays.

The rest of the teens hide in a local store but the crocodile followed them and eats Annabelle (Julie Mintz).
While fighting the crocodile, Duncan is bitten, and the crocodile starts a fire that lights the gas tank of a truck that Kit (Doug Reiser) attempted to hot wire
causing the truck to explode, killing Kit. Brady, Duncan and Claire are the only survivors and are saved by the sheriff and shurkin. Soon after saving them, the sheriff and shurkin are brutally killed and eaten by the crocodile forcing them to swim to the shore. They decide to kill the crocodile instead of running from it using Brady 's pocket knife and some sharp rocks.
While trying to find something to use in Claire's bag, they find the egg
and decide to give the reptile its egg. While it comes for its egg, Duncan jumps on the crocodile and tries to kill it, but he is swallowed by the crocodile. Right before trying to eat Brady, the crocodile vomits Duncan after spraying his indigestible bug spray in its stomach. The crocodile takes its egg from Claire and swims back to its nest. Living Claire, Duncan, Brady and the dog alive.
