What happens in Invasion of the Bee Girls from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Neil Agar, [William Smith], a special agent with the State Department’s Office of Security, is dispatched to Peckham, California to investigate the death of John Grubowsky, a bacteriologist working at the government-sponsored Brandt Research. He quickly makes the acquaintance of the laboratory’s head librarian, Julie Zorn, and begins interviewing the facility’s leading scientists, many of whom have reputations as sexual players. His inquiry is complicated by a troubling pattern: a number of men are dying of congestive heart failure—apparently caused by sexual exhaustion—even as the town buzzes with rumors and fear.
