A couple are persuaded to get married on Haiti, but the owner wants to stop them getting married as he wants the woman (Madge Ballamy) for himself. When she rejects him he turns to a man (Bela Lugosi) who runs his business with people he has turned in to zombies. However after she is turned into a zombie, he decides he does not want her as a souless body and wants her returned to herself. This is a good horror film, that although it does have dialogue, much of it is filmed like a silent film, inlcuding several key scenes featuring Bela Lugosi.
