Plot[]
Outside a farmhouse, a punk man, Choptop, is greatly excited to meet the legendary Sawyer the Cleaner, telling her that he is a newcomer in the cleaning industry but can do his part well. The two cleaners walk inside the farmhouse and see several corpses. Choptop excitedly recalls that a psycho-killer and a gang killed each other, joking that everyone in the end collapsed together. Interrupting his lightheartedness, Sawyer silently shows him a mop, but he puts his hands together and chimes that he is a corpse specialist and cannot clean up. Unamused, she still shows him the mop, causing Choptop to sarcastically reply that it is great but recommends that they stick to inspecting the place for the day. He adds that the landlord's victims may also appear besides the visible corpses, saying that it is impossible to get help in the heat.
Wanting to explore, Choptop walks above floorboards with several human skulls hidden beneath. Squatting down, he sees that the corpses have injuries in their crotch area, joking that someone must have a grudge against their genitals. Poking one corpse with a stick, Choptop recalls that the killer is a man but he cannot find a corpse that looks like him. Sawyer looks to her left into another room, and the punk is curious about the locked wooden door that they see. Accordingly, Choptop tries kicking the lock but injures his foot, prompting the eye-rolling Sawyer to cut the lock open with bolt cutters. Inside, they find a shaggy-haired skinny man with a tattered shirt who has his tied-up arms hanging upward against the wall. Choptop is amazed and asks the survivor if he is a murderer or a gang member.
When Sawyer turns on her chainsaw, Choptop asks her if she is going to "clean him up," but the man softly informs them to be careful since someone is still there, confusing the punk. From the floorboards beneath them, two hedge clipper blades jam through and barely miss chopping Choptop's crotch, terrifying him even more when the blades suddenly re-emerge multiple times in an attempt to stab and injure the punk. As Choptop realizes that the ground stabbing is the reason all the corpses have crotch injures, the tied-up man asks him to break his chains since he knows the house's layout and how to deal with the murderer. Choptop agrees and confirms that he is a cleaner when the man asks him if he is one. Smiling slyly, the man informs the young man that he has actually lured the enemy into his trap, menacingly adding that the "job" for them was actually to clean up the survivors and not the corpses.
Laughing, Choptop asks him what he is talking about, and the man coldly states that he will kill the "woman" (Sawyer), making Choptop laugh in disbelief, telling the man not to act stupid. As Sawyer prepares her chainsaw and gives an evil eye, the man grabs an axe and advises Choptop to help him kill her since she is his enemy, confusing him. Knocking his boot onto the floorboards, the man signals to "Alice" beneath to kill the woman on her end, confessing to Choptop that Alice is his daughter. Laughing, the punk realizes that he killed the gangs, sarcastically remarking that it is a shame. Grasping his axe handle with both hands, the man clarifies that the gang killed his wife and two sons, thus he wants revenge. Telling Choptop that he is not sure if Sawyer is working as a client for the gang, the man shouts at Sawyer that she will not be leaving alive. Powering up her chainsaw in response, she glares at the man. Choptop panics and runs toward Sawyer, making the man frantically warn him to stop and rhetorically ask if the punk wants to get killed by her.
To Sawyer's surprise, Choptop purposefully tackles her, which makes her boot knock on a floorboard. Mistaking Sawyer's foot for her father's, Alice opens the floorboard as her father swings his axe at Sawyer, but his axe's downward swing misses the cleaner and hits her instead, terrifying him. In the commotion, Choptop still wrestles with Sawyer to dissuade her fighting, but her chainsaw swing during their spinning hits the man, splashing blood everywhere. Later, after the gory mess, Choptop begins to mop the farmhouse floor and he comments how scary it was, joking to Sawyer that he thought she was really going to kill him. Hearing him proudly state that he is now her student, Sawyer looks at him with a baffled expression as the punk happily and confidently assures her that she can count on him.
