Schon, als sich Karla und Paul zum ersten mal im Diner über den Weg laufen, ist es Liebe auf den ersten Blick, und bald fliegen die Funken zwischen der sexhungrigen jungen Frau und dem charmanten Womanizer, hinter dessen freundlicher Fassade ein Schläger, Serienvergewaltiger und Mörder lauert. Karla wird ihm hörig und zögert nicht, dem Wüstling die eigene, jüngere Schwester für letztlich tödliche Liebesspiele zuzuführen. Später im Gefängnis soll ein Gutachter klären, inwieweit Karla für ihre Taten verantwortlich war.
