Plot

Hell Comes to Frogtown Plot Summary

What happens in Hell Comes to Frogtown from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In the late 20th century, a devastating nuclear war leaves Earth a desolate, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Fallout has rendered most humans sterile, so fertility becomes a top priority for the surviving government. Humanity also shares the planet with a race of mutant amphibians who have been exiled to the desert and forbidden from possessing firearms.

Sam Hell, Roddy Piper, a wandering scavenger, is recruited by the provincial government to serve as a human stud—a scarce role given the widespread sterility. The authorities trace a trail of pregnant women left in his wake and conclude that he is one of the few remaining fertile men. A protective codpiece is strapped to his groin to monitor his physiosexual condition, locked by an electronic mechanism that keeps him tethered to his mission.
