A man works in the office and eats a few snacks on the side. After the office closes, he drives to the supermarket and buys loads of goods. Then he drives to a restaurant and orders large quantities of food and eats everything. In the process, he gets countless mouths and arms. When he got home, he went to bed and got a stomachache. He takes medicine and goes back to bed. Suddenly he begins to fall and ends up surrounded by emaciated children who start to eat him.
