What happens in Puppet Master III from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

On November 13, 1938, in Berlin, André Toulon, a French puppeteer, stages a puppet show that mocks Adolf Hitler. Four Nazis, led by Captain Fritz Loemann and acting under orders from General Mueller, break into his house and brutally kill his wife, Elsa Toulon. Driven by a single-minded thirst for revenge, Toulon employs his reanimation method, drawing brain matter from Elsa to bring to life his first living puppet, Leech Woman. This savage figure immediately proves deadly, slaughtering the boy from the Hitler Youth who betrayed Toulon, and the eerie consequence is that her brain matter is used to give her a brother, Blade.
