When you have problems in Script-Fu, go to the Script-Fu Console via
Filters -> Script-Fu -> Console
and from the Console click on Browse - that will open up the
Procedure Browser where you can search for the procedure.

In this case, I think the error message indicates that the image has
not been passed to the procedure.

I've only ever written one plugin, for mine the corresponding line
is
  SF-IMAGE       "Current image" 0

So I would try changing your value from -1 to 0.

You can then refresh the filters via the Script-Fu menu.

The only likely change is that you'll have to use the different menu
to access the script.
