Nick and his partner go into the subterranean tunnels under the city and find a man who claims the killer was an octopus. But that's ridiculous and he's drunk, so they leave it alone.
Meanwhile the mayor wants to know how close they are to solving the murders because thousands of people will be coming to the city for independence day. We can't have those pesky murders ruining peoples holiday.
After doing some questionable research, Nick decides an octopus could actually be the culprit. Nick's octopus theory makes him the butt of jokes throughout the precinct and even his partner thinks he's nuts. Well, until he gets caught by the octopus at the next diving job and it crushes the life out of him.
Now that Nick's seen it with his own eyes, he tries to get Rachel from the mayors office to do something to protect the tourists coming to town. But the mayor doesn't care, and Rachel gives up knowing that she's not getting anywhere if she's telling him a giant octopus is going to ruin the celebration. So she does the only think she knows how to do - she takes a short bus full of handicapped kids into the city through an underground tunnel. Good god Rachel! What were you thinking? There's a killer octopus on the loose!
While this isn't that great a movie, it's kind of fun. Watch for the old woman who drives into the tunnel ahead of the short bus. She's like a character right out of SCTV, with Andrea Martin playing the role to comedic perfection.
