A dead woman tells the story of her past life, kept against her will in an institution. She is slowly being driven mad, seeing a mysterious figure in a blue mask who shows himself at the same window over and over again. Bela Lugosi, a magician, and his dwarf assistant show up for no real reason other than to include Bela Lugosi and a dwarf. The scene with Lugosi "baying at the moon" is hilarious. A bumbling cop, a sexist newspaper reporter and George Zucco as a mad doctor complete the cast. Stagy, boring and filmed in "Natural Color", consisting of a sickly brown and green hue.
