A scientifical error makes Slash, the bloody villain from the animated strip Chevysaurios, come to life. Slash goes on a murder spree, so the people responsable for the accident must also bring to life the Chevysaurios, the only ones capable of defeating him. A comedy full of bad jokes, overacting, a circus that makes no sense, and a presidential run for reelection.
