Lizette was the owner of a waxworks show in a carnival. The waxworks featured unique statues which had actual blood from real monsters mixed into the wax. When Brett Hannigan and his partner-in-crime Nita Dell robbed the main offices of the carnival, they decided to hide out from the police in the hollow statues, choosing a werewolf and tiger-woman, respectively. In a shootout with the police, the statues are destroyed. Enraged, Lizette uses black magic written in her Salem Witch ancestor’s handbook to summon demons. The demons transform Nita and Brett into the monsters they hid in. The two crooks awaken in the prison hospital, transformed, and go on a killing spree, with the cops helpless to stop them. Her sense of revenge satisfied, Lizette decides to collect the bounties on the creatures’ heads. She has her demons summon the two monsters to her tent. The witch then convinces the duo to drink a witch’s brew in order to restore them to their human forms. Instead, it makes them go into a berserk rage, causing them to kill each other. When the police examine the bodies, they find both Nita and Brett returned to their human forms. The police then charge Lizette with the murder of two wards of the state. Instead of going with the police, she runs into her burning cauldron and burns to death, ironically dying the same way her Salem ancestor did.
