Fascinated by a jar with a weird thing inside it, Charlie (Pat Butram) pays the carnival owner 12 dollars for it and takes it home. His cheating wife hates it, but all the locals gather around, staring at it and are fascinated by it. Why? I don't know cause it's a hideous thing, but the most of the characters come across like lard-brained hicks/ wierdos who even would be fascinated by a dog doing the business against a tree. It's a fascinating to watch at first, has some good atmosphere, but it gets tedious with it bizarreness. It's eerie in places, but not very scary. Nor did I find it suspenseful.
