Luther Watts was once a circus geek who bit off the heads of live chickens in sideshows. After serving 20 years in prison, he returned to his hometown and terrorized the residents by making loud noises and mimicking a rooster's crowing. He ended up at a farm run by a woman and her daughter, where he captured them and began killing their neighbors. The woman realized that she and her daughter had to escape before Luther killed them as well.
