Ambientato in un futuro non troppo lontano, in cui in un desertificato pianeta Terra intossicato dall'inquinamento e funestato da un'interminabile e imprecisata guerra, un rigattiere acquista i resti di un robot rinvenuto nel deserto per donarli alla fidanzata scultrice. I resti si rivelano parti di un cyborg militare, nome in codice M.A.R.K-13, che animato dalla sua capacità di autoripararsi impiegando materiali reperiti in loco, mieterà morte e distruzione nell'appartamento della ragazza.
