Synopsis for "The Creatures from Nowhere!"

Giant creatures begin to appear in a small suburban town. Residents panic and call upon leading anthropologist, Tom Conroy for guidance. Conroy patrols the city along with police chief Hodges and witnesses and incredible display of alien creatures as they wreak havoc on the small town. They eventually encounter a creature with a lens on its head that exposes them to a powerful beam when it spots them in a window reflection and allows it to escape. The military is called in to handle the situation as the creatures continue to cause damage to the town. They beeline to a nearby water tower and climb inside as they are led by the creature with a Lens on its head. The citizens soon witness that the water tower is actually a spaceship that takes off into the sky. Conroy surmises that the creatures were being transported from one planet to another, but crash landed on earth. He also surmises that the creature with the Lens was the keeper since it had the intelligence to recognize them as a danger when he saw them in the windows reflection. Conroy then announces that the keeper had given him a ray gun in return for his help in getting the military to show restraint as the creatures made their escape from the planet.
