Wizzer Whale has a problem. He's madly in love with a headless corpse he found in the trash behind his junk shop; but that's not the problem. The problem is the corpse -- named Elsa, after his dead wife -- displays a distressing tendency to slaughter anyone in Wizzer's path. A job in a freak show only fans the flames of Elsa's murderous impulses, and soon the two are pursued by a raging mob, a pair of bumbling hoods, an unstoppable reporter, and a homicidally jealous puppet.
