Randall Peltzer of Kingston Falls is an inventor of bizarre everyday devices that are supposed to make life easier, but usually don’t work properly. While on a business trip, Peltzer buys the Mogwai Gizmo from the grandson of a mysterious Chinatown merchant. It’s a small, furry animal that can sing. The merchant’s grandson gives him three rules to follow:
- never expose the mogwai to sunlight,
- never let the mogwai get wet,
- never let the mogwai feed after midnight.
Peltzer gives the cute little animal to his son Billy as a Christmas present, and soon after, the first mishap occurs: Gizmo gets wet, and a multitude of new mogwai spasm out of his fur. But these have different personality traits and behave extremely antisocially. So Billy goes to the local middle school to show a mogwai to his old biology teacher, Mr. Roy Hanson, who then takes a blood sample from the furry creature with a syringe to run some tests.
Meanwhile, in Billy’s room, the other mogwai are nibbling on the electrical cord of his alarm clock. Watching the hands of his clock stop ticking, Billy ignorantly feeds the voracious animals after midnight. The mogwai then pupate and escape from their black cocoons as aggressive, lizard-like gremlins. Next, at the Peltzer family home, the green beasts attack Billy’s mother, who pops a gremlin in the microwave. Meanwhile, his mother, Lynn, shreds another gremlin in a kitchen blender. Using a sword hanging on the living room wall, his son Billy, who has rushed in, decapitates another Gremlin during a melee, whose severed head flies into the fireplace and burns in the flames. After Billy’s mother and he are able to kill the goblin gremlins, except for their leader Stripe, who wears white Iroquois hair on his head, the latter takes refuge in a YMCA building. In the pool there, it multiplies by jumping into the water and transforms into an army of small monsters eager for destruction, which plunges the peaceful village into chaos on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, the wild gremlins amuse themselves at the Irish pub Dorry’s Tavern with alcohol, tobacco, and gambling, while the hateful creatures, who show a tendency to disguise themselves with hats, sunglasses, and makeup, tear the pub to pieces. In the Irish pub, Billy’s new friend Kate Beringer works as a waitress and is harassed by Gremlins. When Kate notices a Gremlin recoiling from the blaze of a lit match, she manages to scare off some of the evil monsters with the flash of an instant camera. Billy also arrives in his snowy VW Beetle, which frees his friend from her predicament with the help of his car’s glaring headlights. Afterward, Billy and Kate take refuge in the nearby credit union, where Billy works as a banker during the day.
During a gas explosion caused by Billy in a movie theater where the nasty, long-eared creatures had gathered to watch the Walt Disney cartoon Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs together, all the Gremlins are killed again, except for their leader, Stripe. During a showdown in a department store, Gizmo kills the latter by lifting a window shade to let in sunlight. This concludes the episode. As the Peltzer family returns to normal in their living room, the Asian merchant from Chinatown visits them. In an angry plea against the unnatural lifestyle of the Western world, he explains to Mr. Peltzer and his son Billy that they are not yet ready, due to their irresponsibility, to keep the mogwai as a pet, and he takes it back with him. The gray-bearded Asian only recognizes in young Billy the human stature that will perhaps one day allow him to be a match for the Mogwai Gizmo’s guard.
At the end, Father Randall Peltzer, the authorial voice-over narrator who had already introduced the action at the beginning of the film, urges the audience not to call the tradesmen directly when “the air conditioning breaks down, the washing machine doesn’t work, or the VCR gives up the ghost,” but to first turn on the lights throughout the house and search everything – because a Gremlin could be hiding in the house.
