A deranged sculptor who creates particularly lifelike bronze sculptures edges to the brink of artistic success when the art market latches onto one of his masterpieces. Besides painting young women, he has encased the living body of one in plaster and poured into it, through an eyehole, molten bronze, which killed her, made a cast of her body and turned it into a beautiful sculpture. After the bronze sells at a good price, he finds a 'suitable' second woman and attempts to do the same.
