本部饱受争议的离奇影片围绕马戏团里一群畸形人展开。矮人汉斯(哈利·厄尔斯 Harry Earles饰)暗自倾心于“正常人”——美貌的秋千表演者克里奥佩特拉(奥尔加·巴古拉诺娃 Olga Baclanova饰),同为侏儒人的弗里达(黛西·厄尔斯 Daisy Earles饰)告诫汉斯,她只是为他的钱财。克里奥佩特拉与“正常人”大力士赫克留斯(道格•霍奇森 Henry Victor饰)两人相好,设计让克里奥佩特拉嫁给汉斯得到钱财。婚礼上,克里奥佩特拉大吼在场的人都是“FREAKS”,激怒了所有畸形人。雨夜,畸形人对这两个“正常人”展开了报复……
本片在1932年发行后因题材过于怪诞而被禁止,成为了当时的赔钱电影。可在当下来看,却是一部难得的“正常”影片。导演向我们抛掷了一个赤裸裸的提问:到底谁才是“正常人”?
