这部电影是以一部古怪的恐怖片为背景的，其中罗森塔尔(Rosenthal)患有神经纤维瘤病(一种在神经周围长满肿瘤的疾病)和美丽的失明妇女梅贝尔(Mabel)之间的浪漫爱情在剧中绽放，当她奇迹般地恢复了视力，却无法接受爱人的外表....

This film-within-a-film is set behind the scenes of a wacky horror film where a romance blooms between characters Rosenthal, who suffers from neurofibromatosis (an affliction that causes tumors to grow around nerves), and a beautiful blind woman, Mabel; who, upon miraculously regaining her eyesight, is unable to cope with the appearance of her lover. In between scenes, the actors on set discuss beauty, disfigurement, and cosmetic surgery.
