A man decides that his father, a famous blues musician, needs to move to an old folks home. Shortly after joining the home the man begins to suffer memory problems and complain about bad dreams. It turns out that he is having his memories taken out of his brain at the home and they're then being sold. When the grandson tries to rescue the grandfather from the home, his father stops him and then destroys the memory stealing and transferring machines after removing the memories of the three staff members in that building.
