As a child, Luther Watts was deeply affected by seeing a circus geek (someone who bites the heads off live chickens in a circus sideshow). Finally paroled after serving 20 years in prison, he terrorizes the residents of his hometown by making chicken noises, crowing like a rooster and attacking people. He winds up at a farm run by a woman and her daughter, where he takes them captive and then starts killing off her neighbors. The mother realizes she and her daughter must escape before he kills them, too. 　　译文(2): 小时候，路德 · 瓦茨看到一个马戏团极客(在马戏团杂耍中把活鸡的头咬下来的人)深受感动。在监狱服刑20年后终于获得假释，他通过发出鸡叫声、像公鸡一样鸣叫和攻击人们来恐吓他家乡的居民。他最后到了一个女人和她女儿经营的农场，把她们抓了起来，然后开始杀害她的邻居。母亲意识到她和女儿必须在他杀死她们之前逃走。
