The Mannequins are two life-like, life-size figurines that Andre Toulon had built when he had migrated to America at the Bodega Bay Inn hotel during the second World War. The mannequins were designed to look like himself and his wife Elsa. After Toulon killed himself, his hotel room became a crime scene and everything was left intact for decades. Many years later when the puppets resurrect Toulon, as a confused monster, he has a sinister plan to transfer his and a beautiful young parapsychologist's spirit into the mannequin's bodies so that they can live forever.
