Abandoned by their father deep in a forest, young Hansel and Gretel enter a gingerbread house and are captured by a cannibalistic witch. The witch forces Hansel to continuously eat candy to fatten him up, and enslaves Gretel, ordering her to prepare the oven, but the siblings outsmart her and incinerate her in the fire of the oven. In the fifteen years that follow, Hansel and Gretel become famed witch hunters, slaying hundreds of witches. The pair find that they are somehow immune to spells and curses, but the incident in the gingerbread house has left Hansel diabetic. He needs a shot of insulin every few hours or he will get sick and die.

Cette mesure est appliquée sévèrement par le Bureau d’Allocation des Naissances (Child Allocation Bureau), dirigé par Nicolette Cayman. Quelques années plus tard, Karen, la fille de Terrence Settman, donne naissance à des septuplées. Alors que la mère ne survit pas à l'accouchement, Terrence décide de garder secrète l’existence de ses sept petites-filles malgré la loi. Toutes prénommées d’un jour de la semaine, elles devront rester confinées dans leur appartement. Elles partagent alors une identité unique lorsqu'elles sortent à l’extérieur : celle de leur mère Karen Settman.

Martin and his friends draw the ire of Nazi zombies after unwittingly taking their gold. When Martin is bitten on the arm, he removes the infected arm with a chainsaw. After returning their gold to the Nazi zombies, Martin realizes he forgot a coin. The zombies chase after him, and their commander, Herzog, tenaciously holds on to Martin's car as he flees. An oncoming truck slices off Herzog's arm, which remains in the car with Martin. After Martin is involved in an accident, he wakes in a hospital. The police disbelieve his wild stories about zombies and charge him with the murder of his friends. To his horror, Martin finds that a surgeon has attached Herzog's arm to his stump. The zombie arm goes berserk and attacks everyone within reach. After Martin kills several people against his will, he is sedated and strapped tightly to the bed.
