To this end, Stoner is attempting to create the first creature of the new evolution by transforming his unsuspecting student research assistants through a series of injections. Not surprisingly, the good doctor is convinced that this improved state of existence will include a mutually beneficial melding of snake and human DNA. Stoner believes that the downfall of mankind is nigh unless they are soon able to move to a new existence, a higher stage of development. The good doctor’s public persona is rather benign, but there’s a hidden motive to his fascination and research with snakes. David and Kristina have an obvious mutual attraction and begin to spend time together almost immediately. Stoner is in need of a new student research assistant and hires David ( Dirk Benedict) to join their happy home and snake farm. The two also conduct weekend shows open to the public, during which Stoner “charms” a king cobra and demonstrates venom milking while Kristina acts as emcee.ĭr. Stoner milks the snakes for their venom which is then sold to anti-venom producers. He lives in his combination home and laboratory with his daughter, Kristina ( Heather Menzies-Urich), who helps him care for his snakes.
Stoner ( Strother Martin), a herpetologist specializing in snakes. A big part of that love has a lot to do with the people involved in its making, but more about that later.
