[edit] Synopsis
Torok, a troll who was formerly the husband of a witch named Eunice St. Clair, seeks revenge on the residents of the apartment building she lives in. First, he takes possession of a girl named Wendy Potter, and his evil motives are suspected by her brother, Harry Potter Jr. (not to be confused with the same character in the popular Harry Potter book/movie series) played by Noah Hathaway. After he possesses her, he goes into each occupant's apartment and turns every one of its residents into plant pods by using his magic emerald ring. One of the residents, interestingly enough, is named Peter Dickerson (Sonny Bono), named after the author of The Flight of Dragons.
