The premise

Here’s the bit.

A rural family treats Charles Manson like its loyal dog, even as his attempts to help produce alarming tirades. When Timmy gets into trouble while catching toads, Manson heads home to alert the boy’s parents. They struggle to extract a useful message from him before finally rushing to their son’s rescue.
