Synopsis

New York City gun collector Richard Jennings returns home to find his wife, Claudia, in bed with another man. Rushing wildly into the busy street, he is struck by a car. Blinded in one eye and temporarily crippled, he vows to kill all women, including his wife. His first victim is a go-go dancer; she receives a poisoned rose in the dressing room and dies onstage in a frenzied dance. Fearful that her husband will find her, Claudia, meanwhile, hides in an upstate New York woodworking plant with Janice, who excites her lust. Richard's next stop is a burlesque house. He watches a stripteaser from his wheelchair in the back and shoots a dart into her breast. Weeks later he sees Janice with a prostitute. Janice leaves, and Richard picks up the prostitute and terrorizes her into revealing his wife's whereabouts. Richard then murders the prostitute and takes his crossbow to the woodworking plant. Struggling to escape from her husband, Claudia accidentally flips the switch on the buzz saw, and Richard saws off her head. He then tries to rape Janice, but she clubs him with a piece of pipe, picks up the crossbow, and shoots him through the heart.
