Plots(1)
During WWII, a special agent (Dick Purcell), his butler (Mantan Moreland), and pilot are flying off the coast of South America in search of a missing American admiral whose plane went down. Low on fuel and blown off course by a violent storm, the plane is forced to crash-land on a remote island. As luck would have it, the island is inhabited by the Sangres, a German doctor (Henry Victor) and his strange wife (Patricia Stacey). The doctor explains that his wife is in a trance for which he's trying to find a cure. Much to the butler's horror, he quickly learns that the doctor's wife isn't the only one - the island is swarming with zombies. He tries to warn Dr. Sangre, but the doctor doesn't believe in voodoo. Not long after, the butler and pilot are entranced in the zombie spell, leaving the special agent to solve the mystery of the island's zombies alone, as well as bring the villain responsible to justice.
