In a satire of the film industry, horror screenwriter Buzz Hunkle (Richard Belzer) is assigned a new co-writer named Vicki (Geraldine Leer), and ordered by his producer Leo Tandovski (Shelley Berman) to work with her on the script for a new werewolf movie.

Studio CEO Billy Mariner (David Leary), who Leo has animosity with, arrives in Buzz's office to announce that he's financing the film. That night, Buzz and Vicki hear screams and wolf howls from the studio back lot. When they discover Leo's dead body, the duo also realize that Leo's "outline" was, in actuality, a warning to the two of them that Billy actually is a werewolf.
