SYNOPSIS
Two men stumble into an old mansion, and get involved with a crazed scientist, torture chambers and sinister medical experiments.

The film opens on a ship where Barry Wilding and Julie Kenmore meet on their way to England. Upon reaching there, Barry learns that he has inherited a house that belonged to his ancestors. To see how it looks, he goes there one night but finds that it has been occupied by an old man and his daughter, the same girl he met on the ship. The mystery deepens when he discovers that suspicious people are after the house and strange things are happening.
