1908 A New Orleans street performer named Safrone is accused of practicing witchcraft. He and his ten-year-old son, Mateo, are forbidden from performing their popular street puppet shows ever again. It is then that Safrone and his son create a puppet named Synelo to exact revenge on the poor souls who have done Safrone wrong. Shockingly, Synelo's first victim was Safrone himself. Synelo attempts to kill Mateo but fails and escapes leaving Mateo's face horribly scarred. To avenge his father's death, Mateo spends the next 76 years hunting down Synelo. 1994 Synelo's death tracks led Mateo to Brunswick, Georgia where he heard about Father Hazzard a priest who with the help of a misshapen Half formed Person named Quasimodo were making a puppet for their own revengful purposes against the people of St. Simons Island. Mateo quickly found Father Hazzard and Quasimodo and warned them of what was to happen if they succeeded in giving life to the puppet, but instead of destroying it they decide to make an attractive she-puppet named Sherry to lure Synelo, knowing he would try to mate with her and create an army of world destroying puppets. Before they noticed Synelo arrived, the puppets quickly mated and Sherry laid an egg, Mateo took Synelo's eyes and skin then fed him to a pack of wild dogs. Father Hazzard suffocated Sherry and buried her in a grave in his Church. |

After getting struck by lightning, repeatedly slapped by his mother, dumped by his girlfriend and beaten by a crazy drunken bum on the street Jack decides to also make a puppet for revenge and after hearing all the crazy stories about creating puppets, he called Quasimodo to help him. But knowing Jack was a fool and didn't know what he was doing Quasimodo helped him make a puppet named Stanley, but replaced the one Jack made with Sherry and Synelo's powerful and already hatched offspring Stanley, fooling Jack thinking he actually created this puppet. Before Quasimodo had time to tell Jack the truth about the hatchling, Stanley killed him and escaped. During the escape Stanley killed two innocent men, one on the subway and one in the street.
