Synopsis
Caleb visits an antique store to get a gift for his wife Sally. The weird proprietor eventually interests him in a voodoo doll made in Sally's image after Caleb sees Sally with her lover. Caleb confronts Sally about her lover, and a fight takes place. In her rage, Sally grabs the doll and throws it at Caleb; he ducks and it smashes against the back wall of the fireplace and the pieces are consumed by the fire. And what of Sally? Well, Caleb can only gasp in horror when he turns and looks at her!
