A teenager who works in a museum is an expert on snakes. In fact, he owns many of them and even sleeps and bathes with his pet python. He meets and falls for a beautiful assistant to a famous snake-expert professor (Malcolm McDowell) and finds out that she is also the professor's mistress. In addition, he finds out that the professor is actually a fraud and not an expert on snakes at all -- and is a dangerous, murderous psycho.
