Nearing the completion of his cure for cancer, Karloff's research requires that he freeze the subjects he is attempting to cure, and administer the medicine while they are in a suspended state. Unfortunately, he is accidentally frozen along with his patients, only to be discovered by another young scientist many years later. Once he and his patients are revived--by hilariously low-tech means--the doctor is distressed to find that his hard-won medical breakthrough has been lost. Desperate to rediscover his cure, he resorts to murdering his thawed-out patients, and spirals further and further into madness. [More]
