A triptych explores the dark side. In "The Dollmaker," when four tough guys set out to rob a dollmaker, they're sidetracked by his beautiful daughters. While assaulting the women, they discover how the dollmaker gets such life-like eyes in his dolls. In "Obsession," a lame and destitute balloon man falls in love from afar. When this young woman is murdered, he visits her crypt clutching a pair of her shoes - to dress or undress her? In "Theory," Professor Oaxiac Odez invites a journalist and his wife to see evidence of the professor's theory that instinct is more powerful than reason. He locks up his guests for a week of deprivation to see if love can overcome all.
