Tamura est un soldat stationné sur l’île de Leyte (Philippines) vers la fin de la guerre. Présentant des signes de tuberculose, il est rejeté à la fois par son unité et par l’hôpital le plus proche qui n’a plus de place pour lui. Errant sans but précis sur l’île, il ne peut que constater, affaibli et quasi impuissant, la déliquescence dantesque des troupes impériales, dévorées par l’ennemi impitoyable et lourdement armé, la faim et la folie.

The film opens with a man (called only "the man", or the "Metal Fetishist"), cutting open a massive gash in his leg and then shoving a large threaded steel rod into the wound. Later, upon seeing maggots festering in the wound, he screams, runs out into the street, and is hit by a car. The driver of the car, a Japanese businessman (Tomorowo Taguchi), and his girlfriend (Kei Fujiwara) try to cover up the mess by dumping the body into a ravine, but the dumped man gets revenge by forcing the businessman's body to gradually metamorphose into a walking pile of scrap metal. This process starts when the driver finds a piece of metal stuck in his cheek while shaving. He tries to remove it, but realizes it is growing from the inside.
