Willard Stiles (Bruce Davison)
is a young man with big problems. He lives in a crumbling mansion
with his ailing widowed mother (Elsa Lanchester). His boss, Al
Martin (Ernest Borgnine), is a vulgar, cruel man who stole his
business from Willard's father and is now working Willard to death
at his factory job. Lonely, depressed, and isolated Willard is
on the verge of a breakdown when he makes a new friend - Ben...One
of many rats who inhabit his dilapidated home. Not only can Willard
communicate with the rodent, but he can command him to do his
bidding. Using the rats as his instrument of retaliation, Willard
commands his pets to carry out assaults ranging from the destructive
to the murderous. The disturbed young man savors his bloody vengeance
- not realizing that he has sown the seeds of his own appalling
end!
