Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) is the nerdy busboy at a Beatnik café, determined to become an artist like many of the customers. He accidentally stumbles on how after he kills the landlady's cat, by covering it in plaster to hide the evidence. When he shows his 'work' he is acclaimed a brilliant sculptor. Unfortunately the cafe's customers want to see more of his work. This means Walter has to find more bodies, and lacking any neighborhood cats resorts to people. But will anyone twig the source of Walters genius?Another one of Corman's quick exploitation horror classics. This one is a black comedy classic as Corman satirises the art scene with Walter's rise from collecting coffee cups and source of derision to faited genius.
