Plot

Denny is a young woman with horrible luck in men. Her latest encounters have been particularly bad, so when she meets the horny and homeless street musician Kaz she thinks that she may have found a good man. Little does she know that Kaz was cursed by the mother of a young girl he was messing around when he was in middle school. Whenever he becomes aroused he becomes a demon.

When young women begin to die throughout the city, Kaz begins to wonder if he is "The Mangler" that is murdering them. His worries are compounded when Denny's friend Sonia, a psychic, receives a vision that seems to confirm his suspicions. The killer is ultimately revealed to be Charles, who kidnaps Denny.

In order to save Denny Kaz sleeps with Sonia to trigger his transformation. He then saves Denny and is cured of his curse, while Charles is defeated.
