It's exactly what you think it is...

In the 1940s, a young boy putting together a nudie puzzle is reprimanded by his overbearing mother. Instead of throwing away the sinful game, the child takes an axe to his parent, with cops soon discovering the grisly scene. Decades later, a chainsaw-wielding maniac is loose on a New England college campus, cutting through select students, keeping select parts of their body. Lt. Bracken (Christopher George) is determined to find the killer before panic sweeps across town, relying on fellow cop Mary (Linda Day) to go undercover as a tennis coach to keep an eye on the innocents. Also assigned detective duties is Kendall (Ian Sera), a Casanova who's discovered a few of the bodies, joining the case to save his friends and lovers. As the bodies pile up, suspects, including oafish groundskeeper Willard (Paul Smith), are investigated, while The Dean (Edmund Purdom) hopes to maintain calm, fearful of another gruesome death on his watch.
