A meteor shower blinds most of the world's population and spreads spores that cause triffid plants to become animated. Bill Masen, an American merchant marine, escapes the catastrophe after spending the night in a hospital with his eyes bandaged. At a railway station, he meets Susan, an orphaned schoolgirl who also avoided the blinding.
