SYNOPSIS: Detective Mike Norris chases fugitive serial killer Charles Lee Ray through the streets of Chicago and into a toy store, after Ray is abandoned by his accomplice, Eddie Caputo. Shot by Norris and dying, Ray performs a voodoo chant to transfer his soul into a nearby Good Guy-brand talking doll. The store is struck by lightning and explodes, and Norris finds Ray's lifeless body next to the doll.

Widow Karen Barclay's six-year-old son Andy wants a Good Guy doll for his birthday, but she cannot afford one. She later buys a discounted Good Guy doll from a homeless peddler and Andy is delighted to receive it. The doll refers to itself as "Chucky". That night, Karen's best friend Maggie, who is babysitting Andy, is attacked by Chucky, causing her to fall out of a window to her death. Norris considers Andy a suspect but he claims that it was Chucky and that Chucky told him his real name was "Charles Lee Ray".

The next day, Chucky makes Andy skip school and take a train downtown. He sneaks into Caputo's home and kills him by causing a gas explosion in revenge for Caputo abandoning him. Andy is again considered a suspect and admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Back home, Karen discovers that the doll has been moving and speaking without batteries. Chucky violently comes alive and attacks her before escaping. Karen goes to Norris but he does not believe her. She finds the peddler for more information but is almost assaulted; Norris saves her and forces the peddler to admit that he stole the doll from the destroyed toy store where Norris killed Ray.

Norris is still skeptical though Karen tries to warn him that he's next after Caputo. Sure enough, Norris is attacked by Chucky. He shoots the doll, whose wound inexplicably bleeds and causes pain. Chucky escapes to his former voodoo instructor John, demanding answers; John informs him that the longer his soul remains in the doll, the more "human" the doll will become. He refuses to help so Chucky tortures John with a voodoo doll, forcing him to reveal that in order to escape the doll's body, Chucky must transfer his soul to the first human he revealed his true identity to: Andy. Chucky leaves for Andy as Karen and Norris find a dying John. Before dying, John tells them that to kill Chucky, they must strike his heart.

Chucky arrives at the psychiatric hospital and kills Andy's doctor with an electroshock therapy device. Andy flees home, where Chucky knocks him out. As he prepares to possess him, Karen and Norris arrive. Chucky stabs Norris but Karen and Andy light him on fire. A horribly-burned Chucky attacks again, but Karen shoots him, blowing his limbs and head off. Norris' partner Jack arrives, refusing to believe the trio until Chucky's body bursts through a vent to strangle him. Norris shoots Chucky's body through the heart, finally killing him. The group leaves to get Norris to the hospital as a traumatized Andy looks back at Chucky's remains.
