Having been captured in Zom-B Family by the evil and mad clown Mr. Dowling, B is carried back in the arms of the mutant babies (first encountered in Zom-B Baby) back to Mr. Downing’s underground lair. From the horrors of blood and excrements smeared on the walls in grotesque pictures to body parts randomly nailed and to defiled bodies, some still alive, hung by chains from the ceiling, B can only try to ignore the mutants and their antics.

Immersed in a restorative literal blood bath, B is the confronted by Mr. Dowling himself and his right hand mutant, Kinslow. Mr. Dowling reveals that he wants B to be his bride, since she is the genetic mother of the babies, who share a strange bond with her. The clown then endeavors to woo B until she relents and agrees to join him in unholy matrimony.

As a peace offering, the clown shares his most private thoughts with B through a painful process of electrocution, but it is during one of these seances that Mr. Dowling accidentally reveals the location of the zombie virus. With this virus destroyed or in possession of the Angels, nothing would stop Dr. Oystein to unleash his human virus on the zombie population and kill them all.

Deep in the clown’s lair, can B manage to survive long enough to share this information with the Angels? The story continues in Zom-B Fugitive.
