The Motel Hello is owned by farming brother and sister Vincent (Rory Calhoun) and Ida (Nancy Parsons) Smith. Situated some distance from the main highway, the motel is not much in demand and Vincent and Ida get more return from the home-style produce from their farm – ‘Farmer Vincent’s Smoked Meats’.
Their delicious smoked meats are sold under the slogan; “It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters”.
Among the “critters” are human victims of highway accidents caused by the Smiths. Vincent and Ida also capture every drifter, prostitute and weirdo who comes their way.
These unfortunate people are buried in a concealed garden.
Unfortunately for the victims, they are not dead, just buried up to their necks with their vocal cords cut, and farmer Vincent continues to feed them until they are ready for killing and smoking along with the pork and beef.
Luckier than the other victims is sweet, young – but not so innocent – Terry (Nina Axelrod) to whom Vincent takes a fancy, allowing her to recover in the farmhouse and lavishing attention on her.
A third member of the Smith family – Bruce (Paul Linke) – happens to be a deputy sheriff. He also falls for Terry and eventually pieces together what has been happening (for the last twenty years) and confronts Vincent.
The brothers have a chainsaw duel. It is Vincent – wearing a bloody pig head – who wins.
The concealed garden is eventually discovered by a government inspector, who then becomes a victim himself. Ultimately, however, the poor creatures in the garden find a chance to free themselves, and the demented group attack their tormentors in the slaughterhouse.
