She befriends an Egyptian mummy named Isis and finds that she can wield the Azoth, a powerful magic amulet.

Along the way they meet Gonner, a zombie pirate who charms Dixie and steals her necklace, breaking her heart and tearing apart her body in the process.

Unbeknownst to Dixie and Isis, Gonner had only stolen the Azoth to protect her from the evil witch Nebulosa.

Dixie is put back together by a friendly zombie named Vitriol, who reluctantly takes her to Nebulosa.

Reaching the witch requires that she go through a carnival funhouse where she must face her pain and fears, which Dixie manages to overcome.
