- Cynthia Kyle enters puberty with a vengeance, murdering her parents as they make love: she's wanted her father to love only her. Eight years later, she's free and wants to marry, but nightmares plague her so she seeks psychiatric help. The doctor asks her to describe a dream: it's long and elaborate with dreams within dreams of Lucifer, Hell, and her parents in various guises. To shed her guilt, the shrink recommends that she commit suicide in her next dream. In it, she falls in love with an artist who reminds her of her father, responds to a woman who finds her attractive, and celebrates her first school-yard kiss. The dream takes her back to her parents' bedside. Is any cure possible?

- There is a maker of lay-figures, a gay old party who half falls in love with his own creations of pretty women and gay soubrettes. He has a son who follows in his father's footsteps. There is a young apprentice with ambitions for the stage, who is very much in love with an orphan ward of his employer. The ward is unwillingly betrothed to the good-for-nothing son. The old man has built a wonderful soubrette figure which it is his ambition to imbue with life. Then comes a fancy dress ball, which all the town people attend. The old man and his son dress themselves up and join the revelry. The little ward has nothing to wear and cannot go, until the apprentice suddenly conceives the brilliant idea of borrowing the clothes from the beautiful soubrette figure and dressing his sweetheart in them. When the old toy-maker sees her at the ball, accompanied by the young man dressed as Mephistopheles, he is convinced that he sees his own creation and the Devil. Rushing frantically from the ball, he hastens home to see if it can be true. The young people, preceding him, have no time to resume their own clothes or restore the doll to its position, so the girl takes the doll's place while the young man hides himself up the chimney. The old man and his son come in and try to induce the doll to again assume life and motion. They perform all sorts of tricks with her and the girl plays the part of the doll well enough to fool them utterly. Disgusted with their failure, they build a fire and decide to warm up a hot toddy to soothe their discouraged feelings. The young man above, smoked out by the fire, impersonates the Devil, and makes the doll live and dance for the old man on condition that he consent to the marriage of his ward to his apprentice. The old man and his son quarrel over this agreement, and after the girl has put the clothes back upon the doll the son returns and smashes it to atoms to get square with his father. In the evening the old man is called upon by his apprentice, who demands the hand of his ward in marriage. When the old man refuses the document, signed by himself, is flashed before him, and then the young man confesses the trick that he had played. He tells the old man that he impersonated the Devil and (not knowing that the son is listening behind him) tells him that the girl, the ward, impersonated the doll. The son is horrified at the thought of having killed the girl he once loved, but the apprentice, understanding the situation more thoroughly, calls the girl from her own room and the young man apparently sees a miracle, the doll-girl, which he had smashed, restored to life! In his joy at his escape from murder he gladly relinquishes all claim to the hand of the ward, and insists upon his father making good his written word.
- Herr Puppenmacher, the old toymaker of Nuremberg, has two ambitions, one being to make a life-size electric doll that will walk and talk, and the other is to marry his pretty daughter Gretel to a nobleman. Both these ambitions are fostered by the elderly Baron Crosswig, who desires a wonderful doll to present to the king's little daughter on her birthday. In consulting the old toymaker about the doll, the Baron has beheld the fair Gretel and has asked her hand in marriage of the toymaker. But this proposal carries with it the proviso that the toymaker must furnish his daughter with a large dowry. The meet the wishes of the Baron in this direction, the old toymaker must raise more money than he has of his own. At this junction it occurs to him that he has in hand in trust for his apprentice a large sum of money due to the apprentice, the son of an old friend. To complicate matters the apprentice, who is in ignorance of the money due him, when he comes of age, is in love with Gretel. The doll is completed, but alas it is beyond the toymaker to endow it with speech and motion. He succumbs to the temptation, however, o fusing Fritz, the apprentice's money as dowry for his daughter's marriage to the Baron. The Carnival is now going on and Fritz and Gretel desire to mask and participate in it. The toymaker forbids this and sends them to their rooms on the night of the Carnival procession. Fritz, however, steals out and hires a Mephistopheles costume and buys a stick of red-fire to carry in the procession. He returns for Gretel who has resolved to don the costume of the life-sized doll, which is boxed ready for the Baron. She has just made the change when her father comes in, angry at the noise and confusion of the Carnival. The old man is calmed at the sight of the life-like doll, which is really Gretel, who has stepped into the upright open box and hidden the disrobed doll figure away. In his rhapsodies over his masterpiece, the old toymaker declares aloud he would sell his soul to the devil if he could make it walk and talk. Fritz, who has peered in, dressed as Mephistopheles, overhears this and stamps his foot. With his hand behind him, Fritz lights the stick of red-fire by dropping it in the fireplace. The room lights up with a crimson glow and while the old man trembles, Fritz orders the doll to walk and talk and they depart together for the Carnival as doll and devil, telling the aghast old man that they will be back for him from the doorway. The old man falls in a chair, tormented by his fears, and, finally falls asleep. In the morning, the doll redressed and back in place and the young folks in their proper habiliments, the old man, conscience-stricken, refuses the Baron's suit and gives his consent to the marriage of Fritz and Gretel, giving his daughter a good dowry and Fritz his patrimony. The Baron is so pleased with the doll, even if it does not walk and talk, that, not getting the dowry he desires, relinquishes his suit and joins in drinking the health of the happy young couple.
