A promising biology student is kicked out of school for experimenting on dead corpses after classes. Back at home in rural England, he kidnaps local residents and brings them to an abandoned mine. It turns out he has developed a technique for reviving the dead by a combination of drugs and heart transplants. He falls in love with a nurse, but she rejects him after discovering his grisly secret. He tries to prove he is not evil after all by reviving her dead husband. Basically a rehash of Frankenstein, with the familiar argument of the dangers of the scientist playing God. Like many British films, it takes its time developing plot and characters, but picks up quite a bit with the appearance of the monster at the end.
