History

Bill and Jenny, a young married couple, adopt a baby, but they are soon plagued by a mysterious series of accidents, including a poisoned mug of coffee and a house fire. Finally, Jenny trips over the baby's teddy bear and falls down the stairs to her death. Bewildered, Bill enters a room in the house and finds the baby (actually "a being from another world, inhabiting the body of this Earthling child") pointing a gun at him. After shooting and killing Bill, the baby is adopted by a new family, where the cycle will presumably begin all over again.
