"Hand in this" usually means that someone played a part in a larger act that many people contributed to. But here, the man literally has his hand inside of a ventriloquist doll. Also, it's funny to think that a doll could be playing a part of a larger conspiracy because the doll is controlled by the man, who may just be attempting comically to shift blame away from himself.
