Dr. Lorenz (Bela Lugosi) drugs young brides, kidnaps their bodies and takes spinal fluid from their necks to keep his 80 year old wife looking young. OK--it's not "Citizen Kane" but the plot is kind of interesting (in a ridiculous sort of way) and they throw in some unbelievable horror cliches--i.e. Lorenzs' assistants include an old lady, her idiot son (who Lugosi whips at one point) and a dwarf! Unfortunately they throw in an extremely annoying female reporter and a totally unmotivated romance. Also it is a Monogram picture, so production values are low (to put it mildly). Still, it does work and Lugosi gives a very good performance.
