The giant eight-legged creature was rumored to have attacked livestock and people with lightning speed, and always during a full moon. With Alberto as his Peruvian guide, the young reporter sets out on a journey to discover the truth for himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlberto was a former bush pilot who crash-landed his small single-engine plane while on a mercy mission over the Amazon.
