Adam Sorg is a struggling artist who lives on a house near to the beach and suffers from anger issues as a result of his critics making fun of his poor use of color.

As his obsession grows more and more, Adam cuts his fingers with a razorblade to obtain more blood, and continues working feverishly until he collapses from anemia.

Returning home, Adam prepares to draw blood for his new work of art, when he sees a couple out on the beach riding his own hydrocycles.

Some time later, local teenage girl April Carter goes on a trip to the beach with her boyfriend Rolf and her friends Jack and Sydney.

After letting her inside, Adam ties April's wrists to a rope suspended over a ceiling beam, telling her that it will help her hold the desired pose.

Friedman felt that the "super blood and gore" film market was nearing the saturation point, and decided stop working in the series.

However, it's important to note that Herschell Gordon Lewis's films, including "Color Me Blood Red," have gained a cult following over the years, and their notoriety has grown.
