Comment/Synopsis
A scientist (George Zucco) finds a gas that turns his medical assistant into a murdering ghoul, but things get more complicated as assistant is engaged to a singer (Evelyn Ankers) , who is actually in love with her accompanist but the scientist is in love with her. Whilst the plot is not really beleivable, George Zucco gives a good performance as the crazed scintist willing to kill his rivals for the woman he loves but who she has no time for. Despite the murders andthe love triangle it comes across with limited emotion.
