Inseguendo un coniglio nelle belle campagne dello Stato del Maine, "Cujo", il gigantesco e pacioso San Bernardo del proprietario di una isolata officina di riparazioni, caccia la testa in un covo di pipistrelli e ne viene morsicato. La rabbia a poco a poco si impadronisce del bestione, per trasformarlo in un orrendo meccanismo di morte.
