Rejected by a modeling agent, a grotesquely repellent construction worker becomes a private photographer to lure potential models to his shabby apartment where he can hypnotize them into strangling themselves. He additionally pays back the rejecting modeling agent by having him kidnapped and locked away in an apparently abandoned zoo cage. Deprived of a few regular meals and left with a rubber hand to chew on, the agent's mind snaps and be becomes Jesus, while the pretend-photographer continues his murderous vendetta against an often cruel society.
