Plot Summary: After an amusing disclaimer regarding the violence about to be perpetrated, a mother leaves for the market to get tampons warning the children not to open the door for anyone, she might have added particularly not for the suspect in the "All Girls Happy Time Glee Club" slaying, carrying a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other. Uncle Anwar, who instructs the boys in the occult and tells them of the ancient Lumerians and their goddess Sheetar, who devoured their boys, breaks in with a meat cleaver and gives the boys two Lumerian amulets five million years old, just before the police arrive and shoot him on the front lawn. 20 years later, Mikey and Georgie are caught digging up uncle Anwar and kill the night watchman. They cut open his head with a hacksaw and extract his brain, which begins talking. Police Chief and Detective Mike discuss the chief's fear that something cataclysmic is about to happen. Meanwhile Uncle Anwar's brain is explaining the ritual the boys must perform to bring the bloodthirsty Lumerian goddess of black magic, Sheetar, back to life. They must create a body for her out of the body parts of many immoral girls and also sacrifice a virgin. In the diner which they run, Mikey meets a cheerleader named Connie and adds her to their mailing list for the Lumarian feast, the first since 5 million B.C. The boys mow down a group of topless aerobicizing cheerleaders with machine-gun fire and procede to select one attractive limb from each of them and a particularly attractive head as the body must be appealing and a composite so as not to offend Sheetar. Connie is upset about the deaths of her friends, so Georgie gives her his Sheetar amulet for protection. Meanwhile the police are looking for a lead and have discovered that all the cheerleaders were vegetarians, they aim to search all the health food joints. The town also has a roving band of cannibalistic bikers. Sheetar's body is complete, but they still need the ingredients to the feast; two stomachs from two immoral girls. Anwar advises them not to ravage the sacrifice before the feast as he did at the gleeclub massacre. The boys go to a disco to find the sacrificial stomachs. They find two victims and invite them to the diner for a little Lumarian feast. Peggy and Babs are dismembered and prepared. An archaeologist explains to the police that the deviant sect that worshiped Sheetar held a festival of debauchery culminating in the feast: a blood buffet. Rumors are that there may be some cult members today. Two days to go before the planets are rightly aligned, all that's needed are the lungs and liver of two "sluts". He invites the virgin to the wrestling match between Georgie and Jimmy Hitler. An IRS man comes by the Diner to check the books. He ends up being the finger surprise. Georgie wastes some time running over a street person. Georgie has a hard time getting the provider of the liver at a cave but is lucky when a stalactite pierces her brain. The detectives see a similarity between this case and one of twenty years before. In spite of direct orders from the Chief to drop that line of questioning, one of the detectives goes to interview the detective in that case. When the moon aligns with Jupiter, the feast must take place--this won't happen again in a lifetime. A rival diner owner sneaks into the diner while the boys are gone. The date is set for after the wrestling match. The appetite enhancing drugs will be passed out at the party. The detective who got Anwar Namtuk is the uncle of the virgin. At the wrestling match, Jimmy Hitler is the favorite of the crowd. Georgie gets beaten up pretty good by Jimmy. George wins the fight by biting a piece out of Jimmy's leg and spitting it on the virgin. Mikey is forced to punch her to get her to the feast. The police do a search on the name Namtuk. The virgin is placed on a slab and incantations begin. Unfortunately, uncle Anwar's brain-jar has disappeared. The boys somehow infer that only Stan would steal Uncle Anwar. The female detective comes to arrest them but Michael gets her from behind. Anwar tells Stanley the recipe, but the boys get there in time. Stanley stays after them even though his hands are cut off, but he crashes his car. The offensive partner of the detective, Shepard, shows up at the diner and frees the female detective. The boys drive to the party with uncle Anwar in hand and the virgin and constructed body of Sheetar. At the body, the dancers are eating the pills like crazy. They bring the feast, and the dancers who have become green faced from the pills feast ravenously on the vat of food. As Michael holds a sacrificial knife above the virgin, Sheetar awakes, just as the detectives arrive and shoot the knife out of his hand. The revelers have turned into cannibals. Sheetar feeds by having people enter through sharp teeth in her stomach. Michael is shot by one of the detectives while Sheetar bites off Georgie's head. Fin.
