In a fantastical world infused with elements of horror and steampunk, the once vibrant village of Malaria faces a dire transformation.

The newly appointed ruler, King Malbert (Jay Leno), proposes a dark solution: establishing a thriving market for malevolent inventions that would enrich evil scientists while bringing chaos to the land.
