After enlarging themselves to giant proportions, they take over a small town in California and wreak havoc on the inhabitants. Their leader is a troublemaker named Fred, played by Beau Bridges.

Meanwhile, two local boys, Mike and Nancy, played by Tommy Kirk and Charla Doherty, team up with a group of adults to try to stop the giant teens from taking over completely.
