Vincent Price is a 15th century wizard who cooks up a potion to turn a raven back into his human form, Peter Lorre. Price, who is mourning his dead wife, finds it hard to believe when Lorre tells him he has seen his wife earlier that evening at the castle of a rival wizard, Boris Karloff. The odd pair, along with Price's visiting daughter, travel to the castle and confront Karloff. At first friendly, he soon turns Lorre back into a raven and attempts to blackmail Price. The face off in a final wizard's duel. Probably the least of the Poe Cycle films, with a flimsy plot, hardly any suspense, and questionable special effects in the climactic duel.
