The third film featuring the Creature From the Black Lagoon sees a team of scientist descending on Florida in an attempt to catch the Gilled One. In trying to capture him, they accidentally set him on fire, burning off his gills in the process. In an attempt to save his life, they operate on him and give him the ability to breath air. Now, living as a human, the Creature is unable to return to his natural habitat and experience the anguish of living as a freak and a true fish out of water. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

Poster tagline: ALL NEW UNDERWATER THRILLS!!! TERROR – STALKS THE CITY’S STREETS!! Of course, it doesn't reach the qualities of Creature from The Black Lagoon and Revenge of the Creature by the legendary Jack Arnold, but it doesn't chew on what has already been chewed on and goes its own way. This is especially the idea of Gill-Man's gradual transformation into an Ichthyosapiense, an intermediate stage between a frog-man and a human, when, due to deep burns, Gill-Man loses the ability to use his gills and is dependent only on his lungs, thus becoming useless for underwater life. There are also the already proven attractive underwater shots, often used in the first half, when Gill-Man is played by then diving champion Ricou Browning, of course dressed in a believable costume. In order to prevent the storyline from turning into a dull plot (already successfully used in the first part) in the form of the hunt for the monster-capture-escape of the monster timeline, the creators spiced it up with a somewhat trite love melodrama of the main characters, which leads to a tragic end. The final minutes, leading up to the inevitable suicide, are perhaps the most emotional moment of the entire series.
