| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Alligator |
|---|
A baby alligator is flushed down the toilet, and years later, it becomes a huge problem for a Florida city. Cop, David Madison, is pulled into an investigation after a partial body is found in a pond. The struggle becomes personal after he meets the herpetologist and falls for her. We learn through his investigation that the Alligator has been mutated by hormones being produced by the local industry leader. These hormones were ingested by the Alligator after illegal dumping of puppies that had been used for cruel experiments. In the end the evil industry leader is eaten, and the alligator is blown up by dynamite, returning the peaceful resort city to
its previous calm.
