A young teacher rescues a lost toy dog, formerly owned by the Queen of England. The animal comes to have an increasingly powerful influence on the man’s life, infecting him with its tastes for fine dining, British mod culture, and bloody violence. A collage of iconography combines puppetry, mixed-media storytelling, and philosophical monologuing.
