A ‘mockumentary’ hosted by Dr. Francis B. Gross, a coroner. He is trying to show you the different ‘faces’ of people while dying. There are scenes of people getting killed intermixed with footage of real accidents. There are executions by decapitation and the electric chair. One scene shows a group of tourists in Egypt smashing a monkey’s head while still alive and eating its brains. There are shots of animals eating people and satanic orgies using dead bodies.

The local warden goes in his boat to get the crocodile back into the sea when he accidentally falls over and becomes gator bait. The film ends with news clippings of people jumping off buildings and major accidents.
