Out of work and his agent threatening to leave him, Pablo takes a job as living sculptures of notorious murderers outside a house of prostitution. This leads him to taking on the persona of his sculptures and murdering those who he considers responsible for his tough times. Molina (a.k.a. Paul Naschy) has been making a comeback, of sorts, in recent years.
