A puppeteer, Ringmaster Rick, once had a marionette puppet called Charlie Chowderhead. However, his shows were struggling so much that a demon came to Rick and offers him a deal to make his puppet shows more successful by giving Charlie life.

## Biography

Years later, an elderly Rick is a visited by a student who was a fan of his work and wanted to write a paper about his past. Rick, reluctantly, takes Charlie out of the closet to show the student. Once the student leaves, Rick suddenly gets a heart attack and is about to get his pills. However, Charlie starts speaking to him, reminding him about their deal, and Charlie strangles him to death with the marionette strings.

After Rick’s funeral, Charlie is given Rick’s latest descendant, Casey. One night, when Casey and her friends hang out at concert, Charlie follows after her by hanging on to the back of her car. After Casey and her friends come across a woman named Tawney, who doesn’t get along with them, Charlie kills Tawney by slitting her throat with a small knife.

Charlie makes it back to Casey’s house before her where she discovers Tawney’s ID covers with blood in Charlie’s box. That night, Casey gets a nightmare where a large Charlie controls her with marionette strings and explains why he’s here and about Rick’s deal. He also tells her that all he has to do is grant her one wish, so Casey wishes that she can getaway from all of this to which Charlie grants.

Meanwhile, as Casey tries to tell her boyfriend about Charlie, two of her friends, Tony and Kat, arrive at her place where they find Charlie all alone. After they mess around with Charlie where Tony pretends he’s having sex with the puppet, Tony and Kat start having actual sex where Charlie grabs his knife from under the couch. After sex, Kat heads to the bathroom where she stretches bending to the floor with her head nearly touching it, allowing Charlie to plunge his knife in the back of her head, killing her. Charlie then a heads straight for Tony while he’s still lying in bed and Charlie stabs him in the throat.

James drops Casey back to her place where he calls the cops, thinking she’s gone insane after hearing about Charlie. Once in her apartment, Casey discovers Tony’s dead body in her bed with her name carved into his chest.

Charlie appears and chases after her where she finds Kat’s dead, naked body hanged like a marionette in her closet. Charlies continues chasing her where he slashes her leg, wounding her. With Casey down on the floor, Charlienis about to kill her with his knife, saying that he’s about to grant her wish of wanting to get out of this. Just then, James and cop arrive in time but Charlie gets to the floor to act like an ordinary marionette before they could see him. Upon seeing the two corpses and Tawney’s knife in Charlie’s hand, Casey gets blamed and is then arrested.

After 6 months of being in an asylum, Casey hears Charlie’s voice, saying that he has other souls to collect and will come back for hers. Charlies is then last seen being sold off in an auction, where he plans to continue his killing spree.
