All of those bad dreams involve Fréderico Krugidoff (a parody of A Nightmare on Elm Street antagonist Freddy Krueger), an overnatural man with his face burned and knives instead of fingers who threatens other people's lives. Mortadelo and Filemón, along with the Súper and the secretary Ofelia try to keep themselves awake until they find the way to defeat him, but the group don't imagine how hard that is going to be.
