Plot
Toby was a junkyard owner who got his rocks off playing high-stakes poker with a group of heavies. Always having the upper hand in every game, he makes sure that the odds are always in his favor. Eventually, on this day, one of the heavies caught Toby pulling an ace of diamonds out of his sleeve; proof that he had been cheating every time they played.
"Sorry guys, gotta run!"
Toby flips the table and makes a run for it, hightailing it to his junkyard, and ducks into a wrecked minivan.
"Get this guy, Matt!"
He slipped the heavies, but that was the least of his worries. The giant claw jammed the door against his leg, pinning him to the seat of the van.
Nobody could hear his feeble cries for help over the roar of the noisy machinery. If Toby knew where the wrecked van was about to wind up, he'd be screaming even louder. He went from the frying pan into the fryer...make that the juice into the juicer. The van is placed into a car crusher. He later gets fatally crushed with blood gushing out of the rear fender of the van.
