The outlet has a short-circuit in it. You need to contact an electrician immediately to prevent the possibility of a fire. Do not attempt to repair the outlet yourself.

This means there is a short circuit between the wires in the outlet. This is an extreme fire and electrocution hazard. Shut off the power and contact an electrician.
