Critics beware! A suicidal sculptor meets and befriends "The Creeper," a deformed killer who snaps his victim's spines. Together they exact revenge on the critics who vilified the artist's work, dooming him to a life of poverty and failure. The crimes are pinned on another artist, who struggles to prove his innocence. One of two films starring Rondo Hatton, who suffered from a rare bone disease that altered his facial structure. (official distributor synopsis)
