storyline A Blackgate inmate named Donnegan built a dummy from the wood of the prison's old gallows pole after reading a book on ventriloquism. He soon began to believe that "Woody" had a mind of his own. Years later, Donnegan was assigned a cellmate - Arnold Wesker, who was in for "accidentally" killing a man in a bar fight. One night while Donnegan slept, Woody talked Wesker out of suicide.
