A hiker is taking photos in the woods. He runs across a chipmunk and it seems to pose for a picture. As the man gets closer a swarm of chipmunks engulf his body and reduce him to a pool of blood and his camera. The next day a park ranger finds the camera and the pool of blood. He goes to the local sheriff who laughs at him. As days continue there are more and more disappearances. The sheriff still makes fun of the park ranger. After the mayor's daughter turns up missing. The sheriff and towns people ask the park ranger what they should do. The park ranger has no answers and a lynch mob is formed to go into the woods. A group of rednecks have taken it upon themselves to go in first and fire a few rounds only to be taken over by thousands of chipmunks. The towns people are fraught. The park ranger begins a downward spiral of drinking until one day at the bar he meets a man who knows of the cure for the plague of CHIPMUNKS!!!!!
