In a scheme to kill her wealthy husband, Lady Yvonne Clifford (Mona Goya) and Dr. Sartorius form what they believe is a fool-proof plan. After becoming Sir Charles Clifford's (Morton Selten) personal physician, the mad scientist will slowly poison the old man to death, Lady Clifford will take over his assets, and Sartorius will be handsomely rewarded.

When these developments are leaked to Lady Clifford, she changes the deal with Sartorius, raising the stakes. Now, he must kill both Sir Clifford and his son… (Echo Bridge Entertainment)

Such a somewhat unremarkable film, in which Boris Karloff somewhat excels, but that is somewhat expected from him, because his appearance simply cannot be overlooked. The story is quite simple and it is about a woman who wants to kill her husband with the help of a demonic doctor. The tension of the film is somewhat missing.
