Donald 'Donny' Kohler is obsessed with fire and human combustion. A flashback shows the origin of his obsession. When he was young, he used to suffer severe abuse from his mother, who would hold his bare arms over a gas stove to 'burn the evil out of him'. After his mother dies, he sets out to avenge himself on any woman who bears a resemblance to her with the aid of steel chains, a flamethrower, and a steel-paneled bedroom crematorium.
