This motion picture is a "just-so" story about a Jack-in-the-box in which a doll named Jack believes his stardom puts him above the law. However, the toys in the playroom have different ideas.
"The Trial of Jack" serves as an allegory of the times; it reminds us of the way things are "supposed" to be as opposed to how they often are in today's society. The film is from an imagined era of film history. It combines the style of the Expressionists of the late 1920s with the technology of the 1950s to create "3-D Expressionism."—Anonymous
