Deranged surgeon Dr. Gogol (Peter Lorre) pines for actress Yvonne Orlac (Frances Drake), who is planning a break from acting to tour with her pianist husband, Stephen. After an accident mangles Stephen’s hands, Gogol replaces them with the hands of a dead knife-wielding murderer, which appear to have retained the urge to use knives as weapons.

Directed by Jacques Tourneur – 69 minutes
When she takes a job caring for a comatose woman on a Caribbean island, a young nurse (Frances Dee) finds herself plunged into a mysterious world where the ghosts of slavery haunt the present and Vodou priests have the power to summon the living dead.
