Synopsis for "Welcome to the Bayou, Part 1"
Frank Castle, the Punisher, is traveling from Houston to New Orleans through a scenic bayou as he is transporting a "cargo". He stops at the nearest gas station to use the restroom where he meets four college students celebrating spring break. Once inside the station's store, he observes that something isn't right given its state of decay and neglect, the morbid decorations, and the owner himself. Once leaving and on the road, Frank notice that the co-eds should have drive by him. He then parked his car on the side of the road and wait for the co-eds. After waiting for ten minutes, he knew something is wrong.
Frank drives back to the station and finds it eerily quiet and deserted. He investigates the back of the station and finds an unusual amount of junked car parts and a house in the back. Frank then meets a seductive woman. He keeps his cover as the woman makes her moves to seduce him. While observing her, Frank see through her seduction as a charade to trick unsuspecting people and as well acknowledge her that she is clearly insane. Also more troubling that given the area that is almost isolated from the general public, anyone out here can do anything without the public knowing about it.
Indeed Frank's assumptions is correct as in a nearby bayou river house, the co-eds are held prisoner by the swamp's sadistic locals, who are revealed to be cannibals. The women are put into cages and the men are killed: one being hanged to his feet and eaten by General Lee, a twenty-foot long alligator, and the other being grilled and cooked for the locals' party.
Meanwhile, Frank has decided he has no time to investigate as he is running late to New Orleans. But also, the "cargo" that is in Frank's car's trunk is restless and must be sedated.
