[1] Plot summary. Police detective John Hunton investigates a fatal accident at the Blue Ribbon Laundry in which worker Adelle Frawley was killed. Frawley was somehow pulled into the laundry's speed ironing and folding machine, which the workers colloquially refer to as "the mangler."
The Mangler is based on a short story by Stephen King, inspired by his own experience from working in an industrial laundry service before he became a full-time writer. If the working conditions were as horrid and dreadful as in the story, it’s no wonder the setting inspired him to write a horror story.
