plot:

Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck) is a young man whose Siamese twin brother, Belial, lives in a basket. At birth, the monstrous twin with swollen claw-like hands was attached to Duane's side. At an early age, they were surgically separated against their will. Duane's twin deeply resented being cut off from his normal-looking brother. Some years after the mutilation of Dr. Lifflander in the quiet town of Glens Falls, the brothers go to New York. The hideous twin is carried around in a large basket wherever his brother goes. Neither brother can rest until they deliver retribution for their grievance onto the doctors responsible by killing them, but Belial, despite their partnership as both brothers and a team in eliminating their enemies, doesn't tolerate anyone, not even Duane's girlfriend, Sharon (Terri Susan Smith), getting more attention from Duane than him. Becoming angry at Duane for the first time, Belial murders Sharon in a jealous rage. Enraged at his brother for his actions, Duane attempts to kill Belial, resulting in the two brothers falling from a hotel window.
