When Jerry Goldsmith, Bill Hudley, Mary Knowles, and Denise Willis are on their way to write a book about unusual roadside attractions, they meet Spaulding, who also owns “The Museum of Monsters & Madmen.” They discover about Dr. Satan’s local folklore and pick up a hitchhiker named Baby. They take Baby to her family’s residence when a mystery figure shoots out their vehicle’s tire. Earl, the family’s ex-husband, attempted to burn Tiny alive following a psychotic breakdown, according to the family.
The following day, Otis and Tiny kidnap them, murder Bill and mutilate his body for art, and torture Mary and Denise. The last three teenagers are costumed as rabbits and led to an abandoned well, where Otis tortures them. Baby stabs Mary to death, and their bodies are burned on a pyre.

Denise manages to escape and herself up strapped to an operation table, flanked by Dr. Satan and Earl.
