Scientist Basil Rathbone saves a colleague from the gallows with a serum that mimics death. After reviving him with an antidote, he brings him to his remote castle where he forces the doctor to assist him in his brain research on live humans. At first he accepts, until he discovers the monsters hidden in the basement, survivors of botched surgeries. Notable for the appearance of several horror icons in the same film, but most are relegated to little more than supporting roles, it's really all Rathbone, who is fine as the steely-eyed mad doctor.
