Malcolm Shanks is a sad and lonely man, deaf, mute and living with his cruel sister and her husband, who delight in making him miserable. His only pleasure, it seems, is in making and controlling puppets. Thanks to his skill, he is offered a job as a lab assistant to Dr. Walker, who is working on ways to re-animate dead bodies by inserting electrodes at key nerve points and manipulating the bodies as if they were on strings. When the professor suddenly dies one night, Shanks gets the idea to apply their experimental results to a human body, and then to start exacting some revenge.

El Tuga es un mimo atípico que no se parece en nada al Pierrot Tristón. Este personaje es el artista callejero perfecto para reflejar a tantos artistas que, al igual que él, viven en un planeta al revés, donde la luz roja no es un semáforo, ni el policía es la autoridad. “El Tuga, desorden en la vía pública” es un documental que mostrará la vida y motivaciones de ellos y logrará convertirse en una tribuna real de lo que significa vivir del arte callejero.
