action

After the violent death of the Afro-American nightclub owner Langston, his girlfriend Diana "Sugar" Hill is filled with anger and thirst for revenge. Lieutenant Valentine from the homicide squad, who is also Diana's ex-lover, promises to take the perpetrators, which is not enough for the beauty. So she desperately asks an old voodoo priestess to help her. Mama Maitresse then calls the most powerful of all voodoo gods, Baron Samedi , the lord of the dead. In exchange for her "black meat", he finally granted her an army of the undead to take revenge on the gangsters.

Photographer Diana uses the zombies to punish the mostly white killers of her fiancé. The villains, who all come from a gang of thugs from Morgan, are brutally killed. Gang boss Morgan, who is interested in Langston's nightclub, is also killed in the end. Only his lover Celeste is spared by Sugar. Sugar voodoo deity Samedi offers this in exchange for her meat, whereupon the latter reluctantly agrees.
