A drunk feels drawn to purchase a ventriloquist's dummy. He gets drunk that night, gets rolled, and thinks something strange has happened with the doll. The next day he gets fired from his job, and eventually ends up having dinner with his folks. His father is angry and meeting with his own mortality and the drunk can't handle it. The doll pulls him out of the bar at the end of a bender, but in the end the doll can no longer take the depressing life of men.
