action
The film begins with a black image, accompanied by chewing noises, after which " Breakfast " appears . The chewing noises come from a clunky bed in an old villa. The mansion belonged to Aubrey Beardsley, who is trapped undead behind a picture of the bed. He tells the story of the bed.
A young couple of lovers want to have fun on the bed. The bed initially eats up her provisions unnoticed. Later the lovers are devoured themselves. The blood running down the woman's hand extinguishes the light of the candle on the floor and the title of the film is faded in.
A " Lunch " lettering is displayed. The three women Diane, Sharon and Suzan approach the villa. Suzan wants to sleep on the bed and is brutally killed by him. Her corpse is being carried underground by a demon. The cross that Suzan wore around her neck was given to Aubrey Beardsley. Aubrey describes a few murders the bed has committed, including that of a pastor, a woman, a child, two criminals, and himself. Aubrey Beardsley received a gift from each of the victims, mostly rings.
Sharon's brother is worried about his sister and wants to pick her up. Meanwhile, Sharon and Diane are looking for Suzan. Diane is killed off the bed. Sharon's brother finds Sharon, completely disturbed, in a room with the bed, who is vomiting an eyeball.
A " Dinner " label will appear. Sharon's brother wants to kill the bed with a knife, and his hands are eaten off the bed to the bone.
A “The Just Dessert” label will appear. Sharon's desperate brother asks her to break off his hand bones and throw them into the fire. She does it. Aubrey Beardsley sees the opportunity and explains to Sharon how to kill the bed. She finally succeeds in a ritual with the help of her brother's hands - the bed explodes.
