[edit] Plot
An earthquake releases a horde of highly intelligent cockroaches from deep in the bowels of the Earth that have the ability to set fire by rubbing their cerci together. Eventually most of the bugs die because they cannot survive in the low air pressure on the Earth's surface, but a scientist (Dillman) keeps one alive in a pressure chamber. He successfully breeds the cockroach with a modern bug creating a breed of intelligent, flying super-bugs.
