There has been a number of Ripper style murders in old SF, throats torn to shreds basically. And as always, a small weird porcelain figure is left at the scene by the murderer...

Leslie plays private detective, Brett Kingsford. He's bent on solving the horrifying mystery.

He's friends with Robert Vandenburg, Mark's character. Here they are discussing the murders. It seems like Robert knows more than he's letting on.

Brett uses any means possible to get a handle on the crimes. He goes to the local swami for advice. There, he learns about the meaning of the demonic porcelain figures.

Brett is then attacked by the living nightmare in his curio shop...

And, now has proof of the terrifying creature's deadly shredding claws' potential for harm.

Brett, desperate to solve the case, takes Robert to see a psychic to try and uncover more clues.

The thing is actually Robert's hideous dear brother. Here, they have a meeting of the minds and Robert comes out the loser and gets the short straw!

After Robert dies, he changes into the monster in front of everyone...

Brett watches with the knowledge that the crime spree is finally over, his face scarred from the final encounter! Tune in again tomorrow when Eegah!! grabs the old steering wheel, here, at The Dungeon!
