The Corpse Vanishes (1942)



Monogram Pictures
Directed by Wallace Fox
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Roan Group)

Bela Lugosi is a mad scientist who uses the scent of a rare orchid to fake the sudden deaths of new brides. He then steals their bodies and drains them of a fluid to rejuvenate his old and spiteful wife. Reporter Patricia Hunter follows up on the orchids, leading her to Lugosi. She stays at his mansion and discovers the strange goings on in the basement. With the help from a young doctor, they contrive a plan to capture Lugosi, but it won't be easy. Entertaining low budget nonsense.
