What happens

Call Me Tonight (Call Me コール・ミー・トゥナイト, Kōru Mī Tunaito) is a 1986 Japanese adult animated horror comedy romance short film directed by Tatsuya Okamoto. It was released on 28 July 1986. In the film, a young horror fan is possessed by an alien entity. He starts shapeshifting into a monster whenever he feels sexually aroused. An adolescent hotline owner tries to train him in controlling his transformations, in part because she is romantically interested in him. They unwittingly attract the interest of a female member of the yakuza and her sukeban (delinquent) sister. The younger sister kidnaps the man with the intent to rape him, while arranging for the man's love interest to be gang raped by her subordinates. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
