A scientist's procedure for keeping body parts functioning is turned against him when a demented assistant decapitates him and keeps his head alive in the laboratory. The scientist's brain is preserved in order to assist in a far more demonic experiment - the attachment of his hunchbacked nurse's head to the body of a voluptuous stripper. Descending into the world of The Head is a similar experience to that of a nightmare where the landscape is composed of dead trees dark passageways and sinister operating rooms populated by the extremes of society - hunchbacks strippers and madmen. When the scientist reveals his gruesome masterpiece - the dismembered head kept alive by wires machines and "Serum Z" - silent transfixed horror is the only possible reaction.
