Sheriff Gordon and Cortez go to the morgue and ask Doctor about his opinion on what killed the victim picked up by the Coast Guard. He tells Sheriff Gordon, he thought at first the victim was killed by a shark, but the bite marks are too large. Sheriff Gordon shows Dr. Bob Hogan photos of the attack victim. Sheriff Gordon and Cortez investigate the death of Florinda and Sheriff Gordon thinks it is odd that Florinda called for a taxi and then took a bath. Professor Donald West, Dr. Davis Barker and Sonja West are interviewed by Sheriff Gordon and Professor West tells him Florinda was researching ribonucleic acid. Fisherman 2 is brought to the hospital and the Doctor tells Sheriff Gordon that the men were attacked by the same thing that attacked the first victim and shows him a cast made of a large tooth. Fisherman 2 dies of a heart attack and Sheriff Gordon tells the Doctor, he died of fear. Dr. Janet Bates gives a lecture on prehistoric sharks to Peter, Dr. Hogan, Dr. Stella Dickens, Cortez and Sheriff Gordon and she tells them she thinks the Monster Shark is a living fossil. Sheriff Gordon wants to kill the Monster Shark, but Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bates want to capture it.
Sheriff Gordon, Cortez and Peter give Professor West and Dr. Barker the data on the Monster Shark and its DNA shows the Monster Shark is only eight months old. Peter comes up with an idea to mimic a mating call to attract the Monster Shark. Sheriff Gordon works with the Coast Guard to try and blow up the Monster Shark with explosives. Cortez tells Sheriff Gordon that Sandra Hayes was found murdered. Professor West calls Sheriff Gordon and tells him the Monster Shark can produce asexually from any part of its body and Sheriff Gordon tells dispatch to have the Coast Guard remove the explosives. As Dr. Barker is about to shoot Professor West, he is shot by Sheriff Gordon and dies. Cortez arrests Sonja and Professor West tells Sheriff Gordon, fire can kill the Monster Shark. Peter creates a device which plays the mating sound and Sheriff Gordon and the Coast Guard wait to burn the Monster Shark with gasoline. The Monster Shark attacks and kills a group of Coast Guardsmen, but is then set on fire and killed.
