In a castle laboratory high above a little town, a mad professor obsesses over his monster experiments. As each new creature emerges, older ones are cast aside and left feeling ignored. Stitch Head, the first of the scientist’s abandoned experiments, decides to join a circus, unaware of how untrustworthy its ringmaster is and that his friends in the castle are now in danger.
