Story calm Cole,an industrial painter living in New York who just got home after working for his demanding boss. After cleaning off, he receives a call from one Dr. Hamilton Cooger who has just succeeded in creating a reanimation serum that brings the dead back to life; in this case, his dead cat was the test subject. Trouble ensues after his cat kills a police officer investigating Cooger's home after getting a noise complaint, and Cooger decides to use the serum to bring him back with the assumption that it won't have any nasty repercussions.
The officer comes back,sure...as a bizarre living corpse that can't be reasoned with, chasing the two men out of the lab with killing intent. As they're running, Cooger accidentally drops the serum into a graveyard and begins a city-wide undead outbreak!
