Plot:
Val and Earl start their regular handyman duties of stringing some barb wire. They meet Rhonda, the uber-hot new grad student who’s doing seismology research in
the valley. She’s been getting some strange reading on the seismographs.
Earl and Val stop by Walter Chang’s store and meet Burt and Heather.
Rhonda plants some more seismographs and is almost gotten by a Graboid.
Earl and Val are doing the trash pickup and septic tank pumping. They finally decide to leave Perfection and head to Bixby. Nancy, potter, offers them a month’s work.
However, Val and Earl head on the road when they spot Edgar Deems on an electric pole clutching to his Winchester rifle. Val brings him down. The town doctor discovers
that Edgar died of dehydration. What would make a man climb a pole and die of thirst over 3 days?
Graboids get another guy.
Rhonda keeps getting the strange readings.
Val and Earl head off to Bixby again and spot the slaughtered sheep farm and the guy’s head on the ground. They head back to Perfection.
A road construction crew finds a Graboid. The crew is quickly dispatched into the land of disposable character spam.
Val and Earl head to the store to call the authorities and discover the phone lines are down. Our dynamic duo is going to have to drive out for help. However, they discover
the road is blocked. Backing up the truck gets stuck. They get back to Perfection and find the Graboid eel tongue stuck to the truck axle. Burt examines the carcass and is sure
there must be quite a few of them…
Doctor and his wife are at their place when their gas generator disappears. The doctor quickly gets etten. His wife gets into the station wagon. The Eel tongues attack the
car. However, the station wagon sinks into the ground.
Walter Chang has bought the eel tongue from Val and Earl and is selling photos with it. Burt wants to set up patrols for defense. They can’t even use the CB to contact
Bixby. However, horses can ride to Bixby. Val and Earl get nominated for this job once again.
Val and Earl go by the doctor’s place and find the station wagon buried in the ground. Heading on, the horses freak out. Graboid gets the horses. Val and Earl are being
chased. Running, they jump a culvert. The Graboid runs head first into the concrete culvert and brains itself.
Rhonda finds them. They examine the Graboid. Unfortunately, Rhonda delivers the good news that there were 2 other Graboids.
Another Graboid chases them. They manage to get to a rock and discuss what the creatures are. The next morning, Rhonda gets an idea of how to get to her truck and
pole vaults from rock to rock until reaching her truck.
Back at the store, the townsfolk want to wait for help from the outside. Val wants to get out while they have the chance. Rhonda mentions heading for the mountains. Melvin
pulls one of his patent pending stupid teen pranks: boy who called Graboid.
Graboids drawn to noise. The pogoing girl, Mindy, is barely saved from being a Graboid snack. Rhonda gets snagged in some barb wire. Val jumps to her rescue.
Walter Chang gets to be the Chinese dinner for a Graboid who trashes the store like a rock star destroying a hotel room. Val, Earl, and Miguel are on the roof of the
store. Rhonda gets to the water tower.
Burt and Heather head home and call Walter’s CB. Heather is loading more ammo which draws the Graboids to them. Val warns them about the creatures. Burt and Heather
are loaded for bear or worm when the Graboid crashes into the basement wall.
Worm massacre ensues, and the Graboid is terminated with extreme prejudice. There are 2 left.
The surviving Graboids start circling the buildings trying to figure out how to knock them down. Nestor is gotten. Everyone has to leave but learn that the Graboids flatten
Burt’s tires.
Earl and Val brainstorm and realize they can use the bulldozer and drag a trailer behind it. The only problem is getting to the bulldozer. The worms have to be distracted. A
riding lawnmower is rigged to head off and lure the Graboids after it.
Val heads off to the bulldozer. A Graboid changes course and heads after him. Stopping dead in his tracks, it can’t find him. Earl, Rhonda, and Miguel make enough racket
to lure the Graboid away from Val who reaches the dozer and hooks the trailer to it.
Burt and Heather rig some explosives while they wait to be picked up. Plenty of guns and ammo ensue.
Travel montage ensues.
Graboids head off from the dozer. Suddenly, the dozer falls into a pit the Graboids dug. Burt uses one of his bombs, and the Graboids head away. They reach some nearby
rocks.
The Graboids circle the rocks. Everyone is trapped. After a few hours, Burt would rather use one the bombs and take a Graboid out with him into the long cold night. That
inspires Earl to use the bombs for the Graboids. Fishing, trick the worm into going after the bomb. Earl uses the bomb and an explosion of Graboid intestines ensue.
Val wants to take care of the last one. The Graboid takes the bait but spits it back on top of the rock.
Earl, Val, and Rhonda are off the rock. The rest try to lure the Graboid away from them. Val has an idea rather than using the last bomb. He runs off with the Graboid in hot
pursuit (huh-coooooo-cooooo-cooooo, must acknowledge the Dukes of Hazzard.) Val lights the bomb but tosses it too far back. At the edge of
a cliff, Val waits and jumps to the side. The Graboid goes straight through the edge of the cliff and learns the law gravity right before its tail goes through its mind. Maximum
splatterosity.
Later, Val and Earl are about to leave Perfection. Awkward conversation between Val and Rhonda before the sucking of face and the rolling of credits.
