Ventriloquist Synopsis

A street corner fast-pitch salesman for something called "Hoak" stops a girl walking by to give his spiel. The miraculous attributes of "Hoak" would seem to cover just about anything you'd want, and the girl, though skeptical, samples some of the wondrous medicine. Unfortunately, he gives her the wrong pill, and she becomes a limp-jointed ventriloquist dummy, complete with a strikingly silly/scary wide-eyed expression. The man puts her on his knee and they do a ventriloquism act. (The "dummy" voice is obviously coming from off screen).
