Synopsis

Richard Jennings, who has vowed revenge on Steve Blakeney, an actor who had been his wife's lover, disguises himself as porter in the theater where Blakeney works. He is about to stab Blakeney when it occurs to him to torture his victim first. Jennings follows Blakeney to a nightclub and watches two women clad only in g-strings perform an erotic dance and engage in lesbian lovemaking. Later, Jennings follows one of the women home, grills her about Blakeney, and causes her death by applying poison to the paws of her cat and dragging the animal across her body. Jennings causes the deaths of three more women who knew Blakeney, all lesbian performers in a sadomasochistic nightclub act. Six months after the series of bizarre killings, Jennings surfaces again. His victim is Paula, Blakeney's new bride. Jennings causes Blakeney to murder Paula, who has led Blakeney to believe that she is a virgin when, in fact, as Blakeney learns from a pornographic film of Paula which Jennings mails to him, Paula is a sexually experienced woman who, before her marriage to Blakeney, had her virginity surgically "restored." Immediately after Blakeney kills his wife with a harpoon, Jennings arrives armed with a machete. He and Blakeney grapple, and, after a climactic chase, Jennings catches up with Blakeney and castrates him as they hang from the tailgate of a speeding truck.
