Mad doctor Bela Lugosi maintains his eighty-year-old wife's youthful appearance with injections derived from kidnapped girls. The macabre couple sleeps in coffins.
Luana Walters is Lugosi's wife, Minerva Urecal is his elderly assistant, Frank Morgan is the old lady's moronic son, and Angelo Rossito is a dwarf.
This is a Monogram production — which does not mean it's bad, just that it's modestly produced and frequently ridiculed. Directed by Wallace Fox from a screenplay by Harvey Gates.

All these characters who maintained some woman's youthful appearance with injections, transfusions, transplants, etc., from younger women, insects, exotic plants, whatever, were portrayed as villains in these old movies. Today they would be heroes and billionaires.

I think that it is the multiple murders, and mayhem committed by the Villains, is what people in the movie had problems with. Not the rejuvenation part.

Yeah. But point of view is everything in that kind of situation.

If said Villain developed a method for preventing aging, he could sell the formula for billions of dollars and then use the commercially produced treatment on his wife and himself while they both lived in fine style for a few hundred years.
All that sneaking around and killing people is not really very smart, eh?
