The plot is set on a farm in an isolated countryside. The film begins with an innocent chicken (named Amos) being beheaded by his owner, Farmer Brown, so he can eat him for dinner. But by sheer coincidence, a literal underground cult performs a ritual that night, which unwittingly resurrects Amos just as Brown is about to eat him. Shocked at his now headless form, Amos swears revenge on the farmer, who is preparing to seek out and fight the undead chicken one on one...
