Summary:
When blond-bombshell stripper Jeanette Moreneau (Susanne Loret) is disfigured in an auto crash, she is miraculously healed by a serum created by the depraved Professor Levin (Alberto Lupo), who falls in love with his comely patient. Unfortunately, the cure is only temporary and the mad professor has to resort to gruesome measures in order to keep her beauty sustained. He kills his female assistant and other innocent women and uses their glands to keep Jeanette looking good! Levin also undergoes an appalling physical change, transforming into a hideous Mr. Hyde-like killer.
Note:
- The original Italian version was 105 minutes long, but the US theatrical version was trimmed to 87 minutes, while most of the US video versions are further edited to only 72 minutes. - The film is a less-stylish variation on George Franju's classic "Les Yeux Sans Visage" from the same year, combined with a bit of the Jekyll/Hyde theme, and borrows heavily from that film's plot.
