Ad Ajo City, nel sud dell'Arizona, una proliferazione incontenibile di conigli distrugge ogni tipo di vegetazione. Bisogna trovare un rimedio evitando, però, effetti collaterali che potrebbero risultare disastrosi. A tale scopo, il ricercatore Roy Bennet, aiutato dalla moglie Jerry, sperimenta il dosaggio di iniezioni a base di ormoni antifecondativi. Accade però l'imprevisto.
