Puppet Master X: Axis Rising

Ozu offers the puppet Tunneler to Moebius in exchange for her freedom. Moebius accepts but the exchange costs the life of SS Soldier #1. He then shoots Ozu in the head, ending the confrontation and leaving the room silent as Blade watches from the shadows.

Danny and Beth awaken at Danny's house after the previous night's events. Danny admits he couldn't revive Ninja, underscoring their resolve to retrieve Tunneler from the Nazis. Blade arrives with news of Ozu's death and Tunneler’s capture, but a tense knock at the door signals trouble from unseen men in suits.

In a hidden Chinatown lab, Dr. Freuhoffer works under Moebius to develop a machine that can reanimate the dead. Uschi seduces Freuhoffer, but Moebius interrupts with a brutal demonstration, slitting the throat of a Japanese man and watching him twitch briefly before decaying. Freuhoffer vows to fix the device while Moebius eyes Tunneler as the centerpiece of the project.

Danny and Beth reach a military base where Major Collins praises their earlier actions against a weapons factory and announces that General Porter will present their medal soon. To ensure safety, Sergeant Stone is assigned as their bodyguard, though his blunt, sexist attitude clashes with the puppets’ wary world. The day builds toward a medal ceremony that could entangle them deeper in the conflict.

Back at Freuhoffer's laboratory, Uschi makes another pass at him, only to be interrupted by Moebius's volatile outburst. Freuhoffer attempts to revive Uschi with the fluid extracted from Tunneler, but the attempt ends in failure. Undeterred, he unveils Bombshell, a puppet modeled after Uschi armed with machine guns, signaling a dangerous new leverage for the Nazi program.

To protect their allies, Danny and Beth enlist Stone and set out with Blade and Pinhead for a covert raid on Chinatown to recover Tunneler from the Nazis. They are ambushed by Bombshell and forced to retreat, a reminder that the Nazi puppet project has grown far beyond a single weapon. The mission leaves them shaken but more determined to intercept the puppets' expansion.

Back in the lab, Bombshell returns alongside Freuhoffer’s new creations: Weremacht, a werewolf puppet; Blitzkrieg, a tank puppet; and Kamikaze, a suicidal puppet. The three add a terrifying scale to the Nazi puppet army, drastically raising the stakes for Danny and his team. Moebius's gleeful appetite for completion pushes Freuhoffer forward.

As preparations for an awards ceremony proceed, Leech Woman warns of danger yet the event continues. Freuhoffer's puppets descend on Major Collins during the ceremony, killing him, while Danny's puppets fight valiantly but are driven back. Porter, impressed by Danny's actions, grants him the chance to join the army, deepening his resolve to resist the Nazi threat.

The team intensifies its search for a way to halt the Nazi puppets and protect their world. Leech Woman dramatically reveals Six-Shooter's severed head, underscoring the seriousness of the threat. They track the lab, eliminate guards, and recover Tunneler as they close in on Moebius and Freuhoffer.

Danny and Beth confront Moebius and Freuhoffer's puppets in a brutal battle inside the lab. Moebius stabs Stone in a brutal betrayal, shocking Danny and hardening their resolve to end the threat. Blade strikes Moebius from behind, delivering a fatal stab and turning the tide of the fight.

Beth and Freuhoffer order Kamikaze to detonate, severing the lab and ensuring Moebius is destroyed in the blast. The explosion wipes out the Nazi puppets within the lab and leaves the immediate threat in ruins, though the cost in lives is heavy. The heroes survive and take stock of a war that has not ended, only shifted in scale.

In the aftermath, Danny and Beth decide to release Freuhoffer, hoping to keep a potential source of knowledge under careful guard. The closing moment hints that Freuhoffer still holds a vial of the puppets’ fluid, a dangerous reminder that the threat could reemerge. The team contemplates the fragile peace and the work still required to keep the world safe.
