Plot

Colonel Parker and Sergeant Burrows, two ex-soldiers with a murky past, arrive in the Alaskan wilderness to do some illegal hunting. They get a local girl called Jeri Drumbeater, Parker's subordinate during Desert Storm, to be their scout. Unknown to the two army men, they are about to face consequences for their evil past actions in this dark, cold region.

Opening Segment

"Ah. Oh, hello creeps! It's your old pal, the big scare-huna, enjoying a little surf and sand. Hey, babe, want me to rub a little sun tan lotion on you? Mm. Boy, do I love the beach. Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, you, watch it!"

Man: "Get a tan!"

"Boy, I hate getting sand kicked in my face. I'm not your average 98 pound weakling, you know. For one thing, I don't weigh that much. I tell you kiddies, I'm going to get that guy. Which brings to mind the two men in tonight's terror tale. They're on a little shriek and destroy mission of their own, in a nasty undertaking I call "Comes the Dawn."

Closing Segment

"Mm, the Colonel should be a little more careful who he picks a fright with. Still, I think he'll get used to being hunted for a change, once he gets the fang of it. And if it doesn't work out, he can re-enlist...in the Marine Corpse. As for me, kiddies, I decided to get even with that bully by showing off some of my surfing prowess. I may not be able to hang ten, but I can sure hang one."
