A nuclear holocaust kills three billion people on Earth. Managing to survive the aftermath are beautiful Charla Doherty (as Joanna Ramsey) and her father Neil Fletcher (as John Ramsey). The two look exceptionally well, considering the state of the planet. They are quickly joined by handsome Paul Peterson (as Steve Morrow) and his radioactive brother Hugh Feagin (as Granger Morrow). While they worry about supplies, two more people arrive - sexy red-haired Quinn O'Hara (as Jada) and her companion Max Anderson (as Mickey Brown). That night, boozy ranger Billy Thurman (as Tim Henderson) joins the survivors...

The group is alive due to Mr. Fletcher's positioning of his home near a combination of cliffs and a lake, which have protected it from nuclear effects. Fresh from his long run on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958-1966), Mr. Peterson is attracted to Ms. Doherty. Her father urges the two younger couples to re-populate the planet. Everyone is threatened when Mr. Feagin begins to recover, revealing himself as part of a horrifying mutant future. A threat from within is posed by Mr. Alexander. Peterson smokes several cigarettes, contrasting his otherwise clean-cut image. "Larry" performs exceptionally well throughout.
