Mad scientist Dr. Markoff becomes fascinated with Patricia, the daughter of concert pianist Anthony Lawrence. When Lawrence presses Markoff to leave her alone, the doctor knocks him out and injects him with a secret serum that grotesquely distorts his features. Markoff offers to reverse the effects if Patricia will marry him, but Lawrence refuses the offer and confronts the doctor, whose tactics grow increasingly desperate.

It's simple, shallow, goofy, and absurd, but also very entertaining.
