Edgar, a comic book author, returns to his father's house after his divorce. In the closet of his brother, who died as a child under strange circumstances, he finds a terrible doll and decides to put it up for auction. The event is timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the murder of Andre Toulon, a Nazi puppet maniac who fled Germany after World War II. Guests arrive at the hotel, many of whom have dolls for sale, which, once in close proximity to their deceased master, come to life and give the guests a bloodbath.
