A woman married to a devout frozen food importer, "Sam of the Lord," breaks his one rule by opening his restricted "Blue Freezer." Inside, she finds not imported meat, but the diamond ring and blood-stained clothes of his missing secretary. When Sam returns—singing gospel hymns and holding a butchering mallet—she realizes the "Imported Veal" she's been cooking for two years is unspeakably local, plunging her into a desperate fight for survival behind a flimsy locked door.
