A researcher at Chicago's Natural History Museum returns from South America with some crates containing his findings. When the crates arrive at the museum without the owner there appears to be very little inside. However, police discover gruesome murders on the cargo ship that brought the crates to the US and then another murder in the museum itself. Investigating the murders is Lt. Vincent D'Agosta who enlists the help of Dr. Margo Green at the museum - she has taken an interest in the contents of her colleague's crates. Unknown to both there is a large creature roaming the museum which is gearing itself up for a benefit reception which the city's mayor is to attend.

Movie Quote(s):
- Margo Green: Using superstition to bring people to the museum is like hiring topless ushers for the Bolshoi Ballet. Dr. Whitney Frock: Well, I wish they would, I might start going to the Ballet.
-
Dr. Albert Frock: The Kai tribe believed that headaches were caused by sorcery. So, the headache victim's family would go out and kill the suspected sorcerer. At which, of course, the family of the sorcerer would go out and kill the headache victim. Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: So what happened? Dr. Albert Frock: Well, a medical miracle: everyone stopped having headaches.

Margo Green: What's that? Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Good-luck bullet. Margo Green: I forgot, you're superstitious. So, does your bullet have a story? Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: I was on the beat my rookie year. One night I see this guy who's locked his keys in his car with his motor running. He's bent over the car, trying to unlock the door with a coat hanger. So I go over, try to help him out, and what I didn't know was that he'd just robbed the liquor store ten blocks down. And he doesn't notice me until I'm right on top of him. He turns around... [makes a gun with his finger and "pops" with his mouth] Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Point-blank range. Doesn't pop, though. Doesn't go off. This bullet. Margo Green: So what did you do? Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Took the gun away from him and beat the shit out of him. Later, the forensics people tell me, uh, bullet's perfect. Should have fired. I should be dead. Margo Green: So, a miracle of physics? Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: Maybe just plain, old-fashioned good luck.

Dr. Zwiezic: Something's wrong... This brain is light - even for a man.

Lt. Vincent D'Agosta: How the fuck does a woman get custody of a dog?
