A frenetic, cartoonish black comedy about incompetent hitmen and mistaken identity, told with exaggerated violence and screwball energy from a condemned man's perspective.

A pair of whacked-out cartoon-like exterminator/hitmen kill the owner of a burglar-alarm company, and stalk the partner who hired them, his wife, and a nerd framed for the murder, who tells the story in flashback from the electric chair.
