A man in the Louisiana swamp diverts traffic from the road to his mansion in order to satisfy the cravings of his demented homicidal brother for victims to dismember. One night, after the latest victim, a doctor, has been dispatched, three corpses composed of mismatched pieces rise from the quicksand pool and dismember the man and reattach his body parts in incorrect order.
