The Devil-Doll
Greater Than "The Unholy Three"
Directed by Tod Browning
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A dark revenge fantasy built on a grotesque scientific premise, where a wronged man weaponizes the impossible to inflict suffering on his enemies.
Respected Parisian banker Paul Lavond is framed for robbery and murder by crooked associates and sent to prison. Years later, he escapes with a friend, a scientist who was working on a method to reduce humans to a height of mere inches (all for the good of humanity, of course). Lavond, however, is consumed with hatred for those who betrayed him, and takes the scientist's methods back to Paris to exact painful revenge.
