Ernie Ross and his wife Mary live with their son Toby in a house with boarded up windows, no television, and all books and magazines locked up and covered by sheets. Its dinnertime, and Toby (who is obviously mentally challenged) doesn't want to finish his vegetables, he wants donuts. Ernie finally gives in, but before he can show Toby a picture of donuts, Toby shouts "Bring!" and donuts magically appear. This is alarming to Ernie and Mary, because he can now remember the donuts and conjure them up without seeing a picture of them first. Later that night, Toby is rushed to the hospital with a severe stomach ache - apparently he has been conjuring donuts - all the donuts he can eat and more, in secret in his room. After his stomach is pumped and he is in a hospital bed, the nurse is distressed when Ernie takes away a copy of Time Magazine left in the room, not only refusing to let Toby see it, but refusing to let Toby even look out the window. A social worker is called, but before she can arrive Ernie and Mary steal Toby away to the safety of home. Alone in his room, Toby holds out his hands and says "Bring!", and the magazine appears. He starts gleefully paging through the magazine. Meanwhile, Ernie and Mary are trying to find a way out of the escalating situation when Mary suddenly clutches at her chest, screams and dies of an apparent heart attack - Ernie flies into Toby's room and finds him with the magazine open to a picture of a human heart, and Toby is all over blood with his mother's heart in his hands. The next day, Ernie has buried Mary in the back yard, amongst Toby's other conjures - living things that Toby brings forth arrive dead, and are summarily buried. Amidst this tragedy, the social worker has found the family and demands to see Toby. Ernie tries to explain what's happening, even going so far to allow Toby to bring forth a suit of armor by showing Toby a picture of it - but the social worker thinks its a sick magic trick and demands to remove Toby from the house - the commotion upsets Toby who calls for his mother, who's rotting corpse suddenly appears. Ernie manages to force the social worker out of the house, and she begins pounding on the doors and screaming to be let in, with a backdrop of approaching police sirens. Ernie decides its time to end it all, and he gets a book from under lock and key and sits down with Toby to look at the pretty pictures - including a pretty picture of an explosion, which Toby obligingly brings forth, blowing up the house along with themselves.
