A crashed meteorite is poked open by a hermit. Some unidentified goo (the film never establishes what it is) creeps out and attaches itself to his hand. Slowly, it dissolves him. Then it eats the nurse and the doctor who are treating him.

The now ravenous Blob oozes into town, devouring citizens and their pets until it’s as big as a house.

A group of troublesome delinquents (led by Steve McQueen) discover that the thing is vulnerable to cold. They somehow manage to convince the cops to blast it with fire extinguishers, temporarily freezing it until the Air Force can drop it in the Arctic.
