Plot[]

At George H.W. Bush State Prison in Southwestern United States, William “Bill” Boss, a cigar-smoking, chauvinistic, arrogant, racist, psychopathic warden, watches the end of The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) with his accountant, Dwight Butler. Dwight explains his pitch of a "brilliant idea" to fix the prison's horrible retention and violence rates, but he is interrupted by a phone call.

Back in the Warden's office, Bill receives a mysterious package, which is revealed to contain a jar of specially imported, dried African clitorises which he eats "for strength." After eating a few, he receives a threatening prank phone call from one of the inmates. Bill waterboards him with three buckets of boiling water, horribly disfiguring him. Governor Hughes arrives immediately afterwards, ordering Bill and Dwight to put a stop to the violence and promising that they will both be fired otherwise. In anger and retaliation, Bill orders a 'mass castration' of the inmates, and castrates one of the prisoners himself, then cooking and eating the testicles for "energy food."

Finally, Dwight is able to pitch his idea to Bill, where he suggests that all of the inmates are sutured together mouth-to-anus, forming a giant human centipede, which would deter anyone considering a life of crime. Bill is skeptical and opposed to the idea. Bill then has a nightmare about being attacked by inmates, and being raped in the kidney by the inmate he castrated. Bill then summons the director himself, Tom Six, to the prison. Bill is assured that the films are "100% medically accurate." Six gives the prison permission to use his Centipede idea, provided that he is permitted to witness the operation. The first two films are then shown to the inmates as a display of their future. This causes a riot, which allows inmates to chase Bill and Dwight to the wardens office, where they beat his assistant Daisy unconscious.

Bill then goes around each cell and shoots every inmate with tranquilizers, readying them for the operation. Incompatible inmates, such as one with a stoma, and one with a disability are shot and killed. They also discover an inmate with Crohn's disease, who suffers from severe diarrhea. Bill orders the man who raped him in a dream to be attached to him as an added punishment. Daisy is revealed to be in a coma, where she is raped by Bill. Six returns to the prison, where he is met by Bill and Dwight. After touring the cells, they discover a mentally unstable inmate eating his own feces wanting to be sewn to the centipede. In response, Bill shoots and kills the inmate. Death row inmates are discovered being dismembered for a "special project."

Upon the centipede's completion, Governor Hughes arrives greatly disgusted at what he sees. In addition to the centipede, a “Human Caterpillar” where the victims’ limbs have been amputated has been created for inmates serving life sentences. It is also revealed that Daisy has accidentally been sewn into the Centipede. Hughes leaves the prison, telling Dwight and Bill they should receive the death sentence.

Hughes then returns to prison with a sudden change of heart, stating that the Centipede punishment is "exactly what America needs." The film ends with Dwight and Bill celebrating their success. Dwight is then shot and killed for trying to take credit for the idea. The final scene is of a naked Bill screaming with joy overlooking the centipede while "The Star-Spangled Banner" plays.
