The Mad Butcher
Though recently released from the loony bin, The Mad Butcher Otto Lehman is still seriously unhinged. With a healthy appetite for good meat and pretty women, Otto resumes his profession as "the best butcher in Vienna" while obsessing over Berta, a sexy neighbor who loves undressing in front of her window. But when Otto's nagging wife, Anna, threatens to have him recommitted, Otto strangles her, then turns her into a string of delicious sausages. With his meat treats the hit of Vienna, Otto continues to grind people into sausage links until a suspicious crime reporter tries to stop him before Berta is added to the menu.
