Synopsis

Rick awakens from an oft-repeated dream about a beautiful woman and wanders into a curio shop exhibiting lifelike dolls. In the shop, which is actually a front for a voodoo, devil-worshiping cult, he purchases a doll which is an exact replica of the girl in his dreams. The shopowner, Frank, tells him that the doll is modeled after a woman named Bianca, and he gives him her address. As Rick leaves the shop, Frank, who is the high priest of the voodoo cult, sticks a pin into a doll replica of Rick's girl friend, Donna; and the young woman is immediately stricken and rushed to a hospital. Rick visits Bianca, who offers him her love on condition that he join the cult. After his initiation, he removes the pin from Donna's doll so that she will recover. When his disloyalty to the cult is discovered, Frank takes Donna prisoner and orders that she be prepared for sacrifice, but Rick kills Frank and escapes with Donna as the voodoo temple goes up in flames. Bianca's fate, however, is unknown, and Rick wonders if he and Donna are free of her evil influence.
