Plot Overview
An aging millionaire survives being buried alive, but his devilish fiancée plans to take advantage of his next cataleptic seizure, by marrying him and then making sure he stays in his grave. Then the gorgeous Victorine will inherit his estate, and run off with her young lover, a painter. But the cataleptic millionaire and his loyal physician Dr. Thorne take every possible measure to allow him to survive another mistaken entombment. In yet another episode starring the master of the macabre, Boris Karloff is delectable as the incredulous friend of the cataleptic cuckold.
