Plot summary
Maclain, a rogue agent, reaches the Bodega Bay Inn and reads André Toulon's diary, hunting the secret of the formula that animated his puppets; the diary bursts into flames. She goes down to the basement, where Eric Weiss is talking to the last of those puppets: Blade, Pinhead, Jester, Tunneler and Six-Shooter. Weiss says he knew Toulon before he died and swore never to pass the secret to anyone. Maclain pulls a gun on him, and Weiss answers with a tape recording that Toulon left him, telling how Toulon came to hold the magic. Most of the story arrives in flashbacks built from footage recycled from the seven earlier Puppet Master titles.
