While investigating the deserted apartment of Oswald Sherzikien, a reclusive animator with an affinity for the occult, Agent Roy Wilkins has an accidental encounter with some mysterious black ink. Over the next several days, a bizarre transformation begins. His hands turn into giant white four-fingered gloves, and he starts letting out random spastic outbursts of cartoonish enthusiasm. All of this makes life increasingly difficult for Roy and his uptight girlfriend Valerie. Along with his partner Agent Karen Huntley, Roy continues to delve into the mysterious works of Oswald Sherzikien in the hope of finding a cure for his condition. However, it soon becomes apparent that Simon, their agency’s director, may have an agenda of his own.
