A Gothic horror-sci-fi hybrid about a resurrected mad scientist conducting gruesome experiments on prisoners, blending vampire mythology with 1950s medical horror.
A man and wife are terrorized by Mad Scientist Dr. Callistratus who was executed but has returned to life with a heart transplant. Along with his crippled assistant Carl, the 'anemic' Mad Scientist, believed to be a vampire, conducts blood deficiency research on the inmates of a prison hospital for the criminally insane to sustain his return to life.
