The story unfolds as follows: while performing her high vantage circus act, the mother sees that her husband is fooling around with the tattooed lady. So, she throws acid on his privates. He cuts off her arms and kills himself. Their young son Fenix enters the insane asylum. Years later, all grown up and somewhat sane, Fenix rejoins his mother on a murderous revenge spree by providing her the arms she needs.
