Background

Jerry is a law student in California. His wife is Becky.

During the events of Tourist Trap (1979) played by Jon Van Ness

Eileen is sitting outside Woody's car listening to the radio when Jerry pulls up in his car with Molly and Becky. They ask her what happened and Eileen tells them about the flat tire and the spare Woody had didn't have any air so he headed to the nearest gas station.

Jerry drives his vehicle with Molly, Becky and Eileen in it and they head in the same direction as Slausen's Lost Oasis Mineral Springs and Old West Museum. They see Woody's tire near the exit to Slausen's Lost Oasis and drive in that direction. The vehicle suddenly stalls and one of the front headlights suddenly shatters. Jerry stays behind to work on the vehicle while Eileen, Molly and Becky go to Slausen's Oasis and go skinny dipping. They return to the vehicle and Slauson is waiting nearby and offers to help repair Jerry's vehicle and they accept his help. He shows them his museum and tells them his wife passed away after the new highway was built. Eileen notices the mannequins look so realistic and he tells her that his brother made them, but got a job in the city making wax dummies for a museum. He shows them how the mannequins are animatronic and Eileen notices a house nearby and Slauson seems hesitant to talk about it and tells them Davy lives there. She asks to use the phone and he tells her it doesn't work. Slauson leaves with Jerry to fix the vehicle while the others stay in the museum.

Later, The man in the plaster mask brings her down into the basement where Tina is tied to a table and Jerry is tied to a post. He chains Becky up and then leaves after asking Tina why she doesn't like him. Tina tells Becky and Jerry that they are all going to die. The man in the plaster mask dresses up in a suit and starts to put plaster over Tina's face. Tina starts to scream until she has a heart attack from fear and dies. Jerry manages to get free and attacks the man in the plaster mask, but loses the fight and is chained up. The man in the plaster mask tells Becky and Jerry how he kept Tina hidden from Slauson and how foolish his brother is. He continues, that he hates Slauson and how he is more attractive than him. The key to the locks for Becky and Jerry's chains falls to the ground and as Jerry grabs for it, the man in the plaster mask makes it move away from him. Becky sees a knife and passes it to Jerry, who starts to cut at his chains. Jerry frees himself and Becky, and Jerry jumps out of the window when Slauson sees him. He is eventually caught and turned into a mannequin by Slauson.
