The "Great and Powerful" Trixie is a down-on-her luck magician that is broke and struggling to find a gig. One day, she purchases a ventriloquist dummy in an attempt to reinvent her act. The dummy, dubbed "The Amazing Presto," turns out to be not your average dummy and Trixie soon finds herself in a battle against her pint-sized partner. Can Trixie triumph against Presto or is it curtains for her?
Inspired by the 1978 movie Magic, the 1988 film Child's Play and The Twilight Zone season 3 episode "The Dummy"
