Yet another story inspired by a Curt Siodmak science fiction novel. This adapted by Hugh Brooks has an earnest Dr. Pat Cory(Lew Ayres)maintaining the living brain of a dead millionaire. The more research discovered by Cory and his wife(Nancy Davis)and assistant Dr. Schratt(Gene Evans), Dr. Cory begins to be controlled by the power of the ruthless millionaire's brain. Cory subconsciously takes on the mannerisms and thought processes of the brain's owner. A freelance reporter(Steve Brodie)tries to blackmail Dr. Cory by revealing his dangerous experiment to the public. Veteran actor Ayres goes about the role as if routine. Miss Davis, the future First Lady, seems talentless.
