Unfortunately, a demonstration of the drug before a panel of his peers ends in a horrific mishap -- with his patient

...a musty but good-looking production, with Karloff splendid as the devoted surgeon pulled asunder by his own experiments and exploited by the underworld gang of tavern low-lifes who trick him into officializing their corpses-for-profit scheme.
This movie has a good cast but a lousy script. It starts out interesting, but then turns into another body snatcher horror movie.

Atmospheric old thriller about a doctor forced into a precarious alliance with ruthless criminals. Karloff and Lee are fantastic (as usual).
