A scientist invents a serum that keeps a dog's head alive after its body dies. When the scientist dies of a heart attack, his crazed assistant cuts off his head and, using the serum, keeps the doctor's head alive and forces it to help him on an experiment to give his hunchbacked nurse assistant a new body.
A brilliant scientist finds himself trapped in a macabre existence when his own severed head is kept conscious by his assistant's serum. This cult oddity forces a decapitated mind to assist in the grotesque task of building a new body for a hunchbacked nurse.
