Question: Build a movie plot around this: WHO DOES COMMANDER JIM MADDISON LIVE WITH IN THE CANYON? LOUISE
Answer:
An atomic war has seemingly destroyed most (if not all) human civilization, leaving Earth contaminated with radioactive fallout. The apparent single exception is a box canyon, surrounded by lead-bearing cliffs, in which former Navy Commander Jim Maddison lives with daughter Louise (Lori Nelson) in a home stocked with supplies anticipating just such a holocaust.

It then releases her into a small lake, where he is obviously afraid to enter. Rick appears and attacks the creature, which runs away as it begins to rain. Following the creature destroyed by the rain, they realize that it is Louise's missing fiance. Tony, having stabbed Ruby to death when she realizes that he wants to be with the younger Louise, then steals Jim's pistol. He waits to waylay Rick when he returns with Louise. As he takes aim, Jim...
