Aging movie icon Ristol is sick of his looks, his job - life as such. To escape this predicament, he puts his soul into a doll and lets his mortal body die. And that's not the last earthly residence his spirit moves to. A completely bizarre fantasy tale that can also be looked at as a meta-movie about its star, Lex Barker, who by then was old, bored with the business, and living in semi-retirement.
