Set in an industrial town in which giant machines are constantly working,
spewing smoke, and making noise that is inescapable, Henry Spencer lives
in a building that, like all the others, appears to be abandoned. The lights
flicker on and off, he has bowls of water in his dresser drawers, and for his
only diversion he watches and listens to the Lady in the Radiator sing about
finding happiness in heaven. Henry has a girlfriend, Mary X, who has
frequent spastic fits. Mary gives birth to Henry's child, a frightening looking
mutant, which leads to the injection of all sorts of sexual imagery into the
depressive and chaotic mix.
