In a tunnel deep under Manhattan, the Old Man rules the citizens of Scum-City. He swears to lead them to a paradise within the hollow earth once he finds five noble souls; but until then his followers must steal and deal to support him. A terminally ill hunchback named Goliath, crazed by his approaching death, decides to find the five noble souls and present them to the Old Man;by beheading New Yorkers he deems worthy of the honor. Meanwhile, another Scum-City dweller known as The Kid tries to do the Old Man's bidding, tangling with deadly gangsters and eccentric drug dealers-even though The Kid is only nine and his main weapon is a water pistol filled with acid. As both Goliath and The Kid pursue paths they believe will lead to paradise, they rob, kill;and inevitably confront each other in a grand showdown.

Kısa film, E.A.Poe'nun, "Gammaz Yürek" kısa öyküsünün farklı bir versiyonu. Yönetmen, evin uşağının yaşlı efendisini vahşice öldürme eylemini anlatırken, bu yapımda uşak akıl hastalığından muzdarip olduğunu reddediyor ve açıkça zekası ve kurnaz davranışıyla övünüyor. Sevdiği halde efendisini öldürüyor, sebepsiz yere cinayet işliyor.
