However, things take a dark, nightmarish turn when a transvestite chases, catches and begins molesting a woman. Soon, all of the titular “creatures” participate in a (mostly clothed) orgy that causes a massive earthquake.

All ends happily enough when the now undead creatures dance with each other, even though another orgy and earthquake loom over the end title card.
