A young lady heads to dancing classes and, telling a young boy about it, he decides to join her. Neither show any aptitude or ability and thoroughly disgusted, the dance professor grabs a huge knife, with which he severs their bodies at the waist. The dismembered limbs continue dancing away on their own, and the upper part of the dismembered bodies must give them chase.
