Plot Widowed drifter John Hall is hired to work in an old rat-infested textile mill next to an abandoned graveyard by the sadistic mill foreman, Warwick. Warwick has been carrying on numerous affairs with female workers, the latest being Nordello. Warwick has hired eccentric rat exterminator Tucker Cleveland to take care of the rat problem. Cleveland confides in Hall that he is unable to kill all of the rats and the mill should be shut down. In the following weeks, Hall is childishly harassed by his fellow workers Danson, Brogan, and Stevenson. Warwick holds a special hatred for him, as Hall isn't intimidated by him, and Hall also stepped in and prevented Warwick from hitting Nordello. Hall begins a romantic relationship with his coworker Jane Wisconsky, who is unhappy with her lot in life and constantly fends off Warwick's lecherous advances.
