Mad scientist Dr. Markoff becomes fascinated with Patricia, the daughter of concert pianist Anthony Lawrence. When Lawrence presses Markoff to leave her alone, the doctor knocks him out and injects him with a secret serum that grotesquely distorts his features. Markoff offers to reverse the effects if Patricia will marry him, but Lawrence refuses the offer and confronts the doctor, whose tactics grow increasingly desperate.

See more 10/12/2017 Very cheesy and tacky, but it's sort of fun. See more 02/14/2016 A fun and accessible classic monster movie with great performances, and wonderful make-up effects. It's simple, shallow, goofy, and absurd, but also very entertaining.
