Bratton, a humble old janitor at a Hollywood film studio, has a secret passion... Mad Science! He has made it his life's ambition to create life from nothing but thus far has not succeeded in animating dead tissue and robotic automatons. When a star ventriloquist discards his dummy after a failed wedding proposal, Bratton believes that he has found the perfect vessel for his experiment. Unfortunately Tom-Tom, the dummy, awakens with a lust for murder! (Summary by Ben Tucker)
