Jack Cassidy has two roles, both in heavy makeup: he is the caretaker of the still vault of a Hollywood movie studio; and he is also "the phantom" who roams the back lot in a cape and leather mask. When the owner of the studio decides to sell the back lot and tear it down, the phantom begins a murder spree to stop him. The primary interest today is a glimpse of the old MGM back lot before it really was torn down. Old movie scenes are spliced in towards the beginning showing the lot as it once looked. Populated with aging Hollywood stars such as Broderick Crawford, Jackie Coogan and John Ireland.
