It's the story of a researcher who suffers a case of [[Idiot Ball\|The Stupids]] and wanders off trail in a cave. Of course, he gets bitten by a bat, and from then on periodically turns into a sort of half-bat-half-human monster. His symptoms are first mistaken for rabies, as the Grooviest Doctor in the World ascertains. However, this turns out to not be the case. Given the unexplained, violent deaths that tend to follow cases like this, law enforcement becomes interested. Said law enforcement is one loathsome, perverted cop whom seems to have a thing for women in vulnerable situations. Just what would be the fate of our hapless, transforming protagonist? Can he rid the bats from his belfry and return to a normal life? Will he outwit the lecherous Sergeant? Will he lay with his pinched, ferret-y killjoy of a wife to infect her with his were-bat affliction, and then run off to kill a smelly homeless guy? Answer key: ''no'', ''kinda'', ''[[Big No\|NOOOOOOOO!]]'' and ''yes''.
