Convicted killer Jules Scholler dies in the electric chair, but lives on as a zombie - kept alive by "the evil spirit of those who fear death", a death-like figure in a fancy hat. Mentoring him along the way, Scholler goes on a crime spree. When his body starts to rot, the spirit commands him to dispose of himself in the city garbage dump.
