(DVD, Olive Films)
A well-meaning scientist invents a serum which results in the cure of almost every injury or illness in his lab animals. The first human recipient is a woman dying of tuberculosis. She recovers, but the side effects of the serum make her not only impervious to disease or injury, but give her an insatiable desire for wealth and power. She also gains the ability to changer her hair color at will, which she uses to avoid arrest after committing murder. Meanwhile, the scientist falls in love with her and is reluctant to develop the antidote which would change her back to her old self. Far-fetched premise plays on female stereotypes with only so-so results.
