Three of the most popular and controversial Civil War stories by legendary writer Ambrose Bierce are presented in this acclaimed feature collection.

The film is based on the well-known short story 'Oil of Dog'. The rough and simple chalk animation technique is match for the absurd and surrealistic style of the story. The line-drawing character representation over a black background is in the flavour of film noir. This is the story of Boffer Bings, who lives in a village where his father manages a prosperous business producing dog-oil. Boffer Bings not only assists his father in procuring dogs for distill, but also helps to carry away the debris of his mother's studio, where she disposes of unwelcome babes. Martin is accomplished in his jobs, until his accidental invention steers the family business into an economic boom. Tragedy is inevitable.

In the 18th century in a forgotten town, young Benedicta is the executioner's daughter. Monk Ambrosius, newly arrived at the village, pities the girl but his interest in her unleashes the jealousy of Rochus and the conflict between passion and celibacy begins.

Takes an arty approach which stresses the metaphysical dread of a man encountering an invisible entity which slaughters people in the marshes.
