Storyline

Hal Moffat who is taking wholesale revenge by murdering those he holds responsible for his predicament, is befriended by Helen Paige, a blind piano teacher, and he develops a warmth for her that leads him to add thievery and robbery - no big deal, he is out there anyway - to his murders so that she can be provided with the money for an operation.

Trivia

"The Brute Man" has sometimes been claimed to have elements of Rondo Hatton's real-life story in its script, but the only similarities are that both Hal Moffet and the real Hatton were college football stars and both got acromegaly from exposure to toxic chemicals -- though the real Hatton got it not from an accident in a chemistry lab but from a poison gas attack against his unit when he was serving with the U.S. Army in World War I.
