Premise

Years ago, two thirty-foot crocodiles wreaked havoc in Lake Placid, Maine. Now, Sheriff James Riley (John Schneider) finds himself investigating a series of attacks on swimmers at the same lake. Joined by an EPA agent, his ex-girlfriend from the Fish and Wildlife service, and a big game hunter, Sheriff Riley soon discovers that those two crocodiles left behind four offspring who share their parents taste for human blood. Their efforts to stop the crocodiles are temporarily stopped by Sadie Bickerman (Cloris Leachman), sister of Delores Bickerman who was feeding their parents. Like her sister, Sadie has been caring for and feeding the growing crocodiles, including feeding them people she sees as a threat. Meanwhile the sheriff's son and his friends find themselves being chased by the crocodiles.
