OVERVIEW

Lucy works as a dancer in a sleazy strip joint. Her weird act includes a routine with a dwarf named Hercules. One night, she invites Hercules into her dressing-room for a drink. He makes a pass at her and Lucy screams alerting Tommy, the stage manager. Tommy sacks Hercules on the spot. Later, as Lucy leaves the club, Hercules confronts her and curses her with the words, "You will have a baby...a monster! An evil monster conceived inside your womb! As big as I am small and possessed by the devil himself!"

After leaving her stripping days behind her, Lucy marries a wealthy Italian, Gino Carlesi. Lucy soon becomes pregnant and gives birth to a 12lb baby. Lucy is handed the baby and is soon possessing a slashed and bloody cheek from the baby's scratches. Other incidents occur when the baby is taken home; the housekeeper is bitten, and the new nursery is demolished. Is Lucy's baby truly cursed?
