Two young boys come to the aid of a legendary beast when its life falls into jeopardy. A hermit tells his young friends Danny and Phil the story of Gator Face -- a creature half-man and half-alligator. The kids don't believe the tale but decide to play a trick on the residents of their town by making believe that Gator Face is actually on the loose. The lark seems to be working pretty well but the boys get the surprise of their lives when Gator Face rises from the swamp for real. Although they are at first frightened, Danny and Phil soon realize that the beast is actually quite kind. The townsfolk, however, call in the National Guard to destroy Gator Face. Now it's up to the boys to save their new pal's life.
