Three handicapped girls are killed by a large bird. The inhabitants of Didoli, a quiet hill-town, are scared to venture out. Particularly terrified is Yagya, an amputee. Her husband suspects that the murderer is a recluse called Kuriachen, who has the arms of a gorilla and two sickly stick-like polio legs, but has learnt to fly with a monstrous pair of steel wings.
Kuriachen has sacrificed his ear, an eye and the organs of sexual pleasure to make his bloodhive – his heart – far superior. He charms and whisks Yagya away to his strange mountain-top lair swarming with bees. And later, when he lops off his tongue to gain more power, she becomes the voice to his telepathic commands.
