00:00:00Can death be outwitted?
00:00:08Is the secret of eternal life just around that corner?
00:00:13Today medical science patches up mutilated bodies,
00:00:16transplanting human skin, eyes, limbs, even vital organs.
00:00:21Is the next step the transplantation of the human brain?
00:00:25Many scientists answer yes, but they pause and add a grim warning.
00:00:30For in the ancient folk legends, tales are told of blood-sucking vampires
00:00:35crawling out of graves to live on the bodies of helpless victims.
00:00:39Is man now doomed to produce a race of ever-living monstrosities
00:00:43worse than the vampires of legend?
00:00:46Will ruthless men and women of great wealth and power
00:00:49greedily buy or steal the living bodies of the young and beautiful
00:00:53so their brains may live on forever?
00:00:56Such questions may seem fanciful, but at this very moment
00:01:00scientists are working on the answer to brain transplantation,
00:01:04and human bodies are used.
00:01:08This girl was buried in a nearby cemetery yesterday.
00:01:12Only a few hours ago, her body was stolen by Dr. Otto Frank
00:01:19and brought to this hidden laboratory.
00:01:22He's grafted a living animal's brain into this newly dead body.
00:01:27If the experiment works, the next step will be the transplantation of a human brain.
00:01:34The brain cells are being reactivated by an atomic fission produced in the cyclotron.
00:01:39Has he found the way to outwit death, or has he created another?
00:02:36Deep below, Dr. Frank takes the chance of smashing his way into a newly sealed vault.
00:02:47His experiments cannot continue without another body.
00:03:03The watchman's mind was not on body snatchers, just his usual nip.
00:03:18Inside the vault, a body waits.
00:03:43This is one of the doctor's mistakes, a monstrosity,
00:04:10an animal's brain grafted to a human body.
00:04:13Leaving the dead watchman, the monstrosity carried the girl's body out of the vault.
00:04:18She appears and obeys one master, Dr. Frank.
00:06:18Here beneath the old mansion, the doctor carefully prepared for another transplant.
00:06:22This body had been in the vault for only a few hours. Chances seem better this time.
00:06:26Still, Dr. Frank was doubtful.
00:06:28Tissue in dead bodies deteriorates rapidly.
00:06:31Where were the live, fresh bodies he'd been promised?
00:06:36He bitterly resents that every step forward depends on the whim of a miserly old woman
00:06:40brooding upstairs in her bedroom.
00:06:45And heady March wonders.
00:06:47Has she been a fool, squandering money on this strange experiment?
00:06:51Money hoarded through a long, greedy lifetime, each day more money, each day death getting closer.
00:06:57Ah, but to start life again in a brand new body, beautiful and young,
00:07:02no price can be too high for that.
00:07:04Can she really trust the doctor? Can she really trust anyone?
00:07:07Hasn't everyone tried to cheat her?
00:07:09Wanting her money while they smiled at her ugliness?
00:07:12But they never got a penny.
00:07:14Oh, how she made them sweat.
00:07:17Especially this old fool, companion and gigolo.
00:07:21How many years she's kept him dangling on promises.
00:07:24Well, sometimes it's convenient to have a man,
00:07:27especially when he comes cheaper than servants.
00:07:30Is that the Austrian girl?
00:07:33Nine-oh robes, 18, no family, pleasing personality, whatever that might mean.
00:07:40Thick ankles, pimply face, but she always smiles when she's spoken to, very likely.
00:07:46Well, application forms for a servant girl don't usually include bust, waist and hip measurements.
00:07:52All three will be here tomorrow, and then you can choose.
00:07:56At Greenhaven Cemetery, the body snatchers brutally murdered night watchman Robert Payne, 62,
00:08:02who evidently interrupted his killers during their ghoulish task.
00:08:05His neck was broken. The imprint of the huge pair of hands was found on his throat.
00:08:09It's the opinion of the police that the same gang that has previously...
00:08:12Ring for Dr. Prank.
00:08:16So that's what he was doing.
00:09:39More of it. Hocus pocus, Eddie.
00:09:42The doctor transplanted a brain from a live dog to a dead human body.
00:09:48You saw the creature walk out of that cylinder alive.
00:09:52How many failures since then.
00:09:55Here's your money.
00:09:59The bodies must be fresh.
00:10:04This specimen is excellent.
00:10:05And the police are looking for the body snatchers.
00:10:07Why the local cemetery, doctor? Are you trying to blaze a trail to our door?
00:10:12The final test was essential for your protection.
00:10:15As for the police, if they come here, I hit this switch, and nuclear reaction is set off.
00:10:20Close the circuit breaker, and in a matter of minutes,
00:10:24this house and any evidence it might contain becomes a radioactive hole in the ground.
00:10:29Be careful!
00:10:30We can wait for that until after your operation.
00:10:33Well, nothing must go wrong.
00:10:38There's no sign of life.
00:10:40Watch.
00:11:07Relax.
00:11:20She lacks but one thing.
00:11:23The brain.
00:11:25Hans was still living when he was dragged from that wrecked car.
00:11:28That's why we succeeded with the transplant.
00:11:32She seems alive.
00:11:34She is, to a limited extent.
00:11:36She may be able to move around, but the brain deterioration is too extensive for thought processes.
00:12:07...Portland and 10th.
00:12:09This is the market number 22.
00:12:11All orders are to come to your attention.
00:12:15This is an emergency.
00:12:17We have a situation on the ground.
00:12:20We have a situation on the ground.
00:12:22We have a situation on the ground.
00:12:26We have a situation on the ground.
00:12:30This is an emergency.
00:12:36We have a situation on the ground.
00:12:43Say, pardon me, but how far is Hollywood from here?
00:12:56All right, let's see.
00:12:5816 kilometers.
00:13:01About 10 miles.
00:13:02Which way?
00:13:03That way.
00:13:05Are you going to Hollywood?
00:13:07No such luck.
00:13:09I'm what's known as a foreign domestic.
00:13:11For the next 12 months, I'll be scrubbing floors and making beds.
00:13:15But when my time's up, Hollywood will look out.
00:13:19That's strange.
00:13:21A foreign domestic agency paid my passage too.
00:13:24I'm from Vienna, Austria.
00:13:26Oh, really?
00:13:27Mm-hmm.
00:13:28I'm from England.
00:13:29No.
00:13:30Is this your first trip?
00:13:32Yes.
00:13:33I'm awfully excited.
00:13:35Por favor.
00:13:37I know speak English very good.
00:13:40Are you going to work for Mrs. Marge too?
00:13:43This sounds like a sister act.
00:13:45Are you going to work for Mrs. Marge too?
00:14:04This sounds like a sister act.
00:14:11You too?
00:14:12Ninah Rhodes?
00:14:14Yes, sir.
00:14:16Anita Gonzales?
00:14:24Beatrice Mullins, sir?
00:14:25That's right.
00:14:27Are you Mr. Marge?
00:14:29No, I work for Mrs. Marge.
00:14:32Come along.
00:14:36Three new bodies.
00:14:37Fresh, live, young bodies.
00:14:40No families or friends within thousands of miles.
00:14:43No one to ask embarrassing questions when they disappear.
00:14:59Victor wondered which one Mrs. Marge would pick.
00:15:01The little Mexican?
00:15:02The girl from Vienna?
00:15:03Or the buxom blonde?
00:15:05Victor knew his pick.
00:15:07But he still felt uneasy.
00:15:09Making love to an 80-year-old woman in the body of a 20-year-old girl is insanity.
00:15:14Still, Hedy's plan to transfer her fortune to the new body had been brilliant.
00:15:19Unpleasant to think of what was going to happen to these girls,
00:15:21but a man has to consider his own future.
00:15:24What would happen to him if Hedy were to cast him off after all these years?
00:15:35Warm welcome to hang out.
00:15:37Well, there's your new home, girls.
00:15:42Gives me the shivers.
00:15:44Aren't there any neighbors?
00:15:46Nope.
00:15:48Are there any other servants?
00:15:50No, but I don't think you're going to find it boring.
00:16:37What a jolly little place this is.
00:17:07What was that?
00:17:08No one's to leave this house without permission.
00:17:10Now, hurry along. Hurry up.
00:17:12Now, go.
00:17:37Put down your luggage.
00:18:08Turn around.
00:18:10Slowly.
00:18:13Get the doctor.
00:18:14Get the doctor!
00:18:37Knock, knock.
00:18:56As with the other bodies stolen from cemeteries,
00:18:58the nerve endings of the brain were too far gone to receive a proper transplant.
00:19:02The experiment had failed to produce anything more than a walking, breathing, zombie-like creature.
00:19:07But the doctor permitted her to wander about the laboratory.
00:19:10She was quite harmless and, at times, even amusing.
00:19:15Charming, isn't she?
00:19:18Did you want something?
00:19:20Mrs. Marks is waiting for you.
00:19:22The girls have arrived.
00:19:26She doesn't have a brain.
00:19:29There might be advantages.
00:19:33I want them examined immediately.
00:19:36Very well. This way.
00:19:44Victor, the doctor can conduct the examination perfectly.
00:19:49What an old spoiled sport I am.
00:19:54Have you disconnected the phone?
00:19:56Can't I use it?
00:19:59Have you disconnected the phone?
00:20:01Can't I rely on you for anything?
00:20:04Wouldn't it be nice if those girls started calling the police,
00:20:07the employment agencies, the immigration authorities, the consulates?
00:20:11There will be no phone calls.
00:20:21Idiot.
00:20:22She's useless.
00:20:24There is one more test I should make.
00:20:26Do anything you want with her.
00:20:28The other two?
00:20:29Perfect medical specimens.
00:20:32All right, Anita.
00:20:33Get dressed now and wait for the others.
00:20:46Mrs. March, I am now giving you notice.
00:20:49I do not care to work in this house any longer.
00:20:51I demand that...
00:20:52You have signed an agreement.
00:20:54If you have any objections,
00:20:55you will discuss them with the immigration authorities,
00:20:58as provided for in your papers.
00:21:01But Mrs. March...
00:21:02Later.
00:21:05Stand up, my dear.
00:21:07I have the same measurements as Marilyn Monroe.
00:21:10I love you.
00:21:24The lucky girl?
00:21:25Yes.
00:21:27Allow me to be the first to offer congratulations.
00:21:32To both of you.
00:21:40For me?
00:22:02Come on.
00:22:04Come on.
00:22:10Come on.
00:22:19Your room is in the basement, Anita.
00:22:21Nina, your room is upstairs,
00:22:23right across from the top of the stairs.
00:22:29I'll have to show you.
00:22:41I think it will be lonely down there.
00:22:43Nonsense.
00:22:44You'll be all right.
00:22:45Go on.
00:24:40Guineas?
00:24:46Who is it?
00:25:11Bee.
00:25:13Are you sure she's not in her room?
00:25:15Yes.
00:25:18Victor left a little while ago.
00:25:20Maybe she went with him.
00:25:24She didn't get out of this prison without permission.
00:25:26That's for sure.
00:25:27Yes.
00:25:29But she would have said goodbye.
00:25:32Why should she?
00:25:33We only met her yesterday.
00:25:36I don't blame her for not wanting to sleep in the basement.
00:25:39Oh.
00:25:42It's funny, though.
00:25:45Mrs. March wouldn't even listen when I asked to be dismissed.
00:25:54This house gives me the creeps.
00:25:59She doesn't even have any uniforms for us.
00:26:02Bee, what in the world do you think you're doing?
00:26:04She told us last night to clean and polish in here.
00:26:06Look at your hands.
00:26:07That will leave a stain on them.
00:26:09Now, don't argue.
00:26:10Go in and wash them immediately.
00:26:13You can put the things away after Nina cleans them.
00:26:18Mrs. March, where is Anita?
00:26:22Anita?
00:26:23Oh.
00:26:25She left.
00:26:27Last night.
00:26:29I would like to give notice, too.
00:26:31I will discuss it with you another time.
00:26:34Another time.
00:27:05Nina!
00:27:06Nina!
00:27:07Come here this instant!
00:27:17Yes, Mrs. March?
00:27:18Your name isn't Nina.
00:27:20But Mrs. March, she's got polish all over,
00:27:22and so I'm not doing anything.
00:27:24I don't want you running up and down stairs.
00:27:27Those pretty legs of yours will get dirty.
00:27:30Send Nina to me.
00:27:31Yes, ma'am.
00:27:34I'll be in my room.
00:27:44Bee, come with me.
00:28:01I want to show you something.
00:28:16Anita wouldn't leave without taking her clothes.
00:28:18I think we'd better get out of here.
00:28:20Fast.
00:28:21Bee, I'd hate to go if she's still here.
00:28:23You go now if you go with me.
00:28:25I don't want to stay here.
00:28:27I'd hate to go if she's still here.
00:28:29You go now if you go with me.
00:28:54The hinge is loose.
00:28:56The hinge is loose.
00:29:27One last experiment before Dr. Frank would be ready.
00:29:30But this was the most critical of all the experiments.
00:29:32For the first time,
00:29:33the grafting operation would be performed on a living human body,
00:29:37and the brain would come from the doctor's favorite cat.
00:29:43Anita was ready.
00:29:45Dr. Frank was ready.
00:29:47Anita was ready.
00:29:49Dr. Frank was ready.
00:29:51Anita was ready.
00:29:54Anita was ready.
00:30:08It's me, Nina.
00:30:10What about your clothes?
00:30:14Never mind. Let's go.
00:30:21Let's go.
00:30:45Bee?
00:30:46She almost saw us.
00:30:48Let's wait a while to make sure we won't run into her.
00:32:18Bee?
00:32:40Bee?
00:32:48Bee?
00:32:51Bee?
00:33:18Bee?
00:33:48Bee?
00:33:51Bee?
00:33:52Where are you?
00:33:54Answer me!
00:34:08I'm here, Mrs. March.
00:34:18She's locked us in.
00:34:22Open it! I said open it!
00:34:25Mrs. March!
00:34:49Victor!
00:34:51Victor!
00:35:05Well, it took long enough.
00:35:07The lawyer will see you in the morning.
00:35:09I told him you were going to change your will.
00:35:19You'll have to check the basement door. It broke loose.
00:35:41You failed.
00:35:48She thinks she's a cat!
00:35:54Nice kitty.
00:36:19Well, I see you still resent the way Mrs. March treats you.
00:36:23I can't say that I blame you.
00:36:25Kitty's always been very fond of me.
00:36:27Haven't you?
00:36:31Does she have all the instincts of a cat?
00:36:34Watch.
00:36:48She ate it!
00:37:08She ate it!
00:37:18She ate it!
00:37:39Bee?
00:37:43Is that Anita?
00:37:45Where?
00:37:47Oh, I don't think so.
00:38:13Look out!
00:38:16Somebody help her!
00:38:33Back, Hunter! Back!
00:38:45Huns! Huns!
00:38:51Huns! Huns!
00:39:11I still think you should have locked them up.
00:39:14They're about to leave this house after what they've witnessed.
00:39:16They know Hunt is outside there.
00:39:31Even if we could get past that creature outside, there's still the electric fence.
00:39:36The phone's dead. Can't get help that way.
00:39:41If we could get the car...
00:39:45That's it! Victor!
00:39:48Victor?
00:39:50He likes me, I guess.
00:39:54If you could get the keys from him...
00:40:01Bee?
00:40:04I was having a little nightcap.
00:40:11Who do you think you are, pinching me?
00:40:17Maybe you'd like some company. Someone like me?
00:40:23That's more like it.
00:40:29Don't you like me, Victor?
00:40:41Wait.
00:40:55Hunt is chained. Let's go outside.
00:40:58Outside?
00:41:01I think I'd like that.
00:41:10Let's go.
00:41:12Let's go.
00:41:37Victor! Victor!
00:41:42Victor!
00:42:13Victor!
00:42:17What are you doing up there?
00:42:19Anita! What's the matter with you?
00:42:22Don't you know me?
00:42:24Anita! Listen to me!
00:42:42Anita!
00:43:02Anita!
00:43:08Stay right there. Don't move.
00:43:11Stay right there.
00:43:41Stay right there.
00:44:02Anita!
00:44:12Anita, let me help you.
00:44:34Anita, wait!
00:44:41Anita!
00:44:50Take my hand.
00:45:08Anita!
00:45:11Anita!
00:45:24The human eye is very complex, isn't it?
00:45:27Doctor?
00:45:33Bee?
00:45:37She's unconscious, but she'll live.
00:45:40No.
00:45:41She will live.
00:45:43Anita, she's dead.
00:45:51Nina, my dear, come with us now.
00:45:56You had a bad shock.
00:45:59Get out of here, both of you.
00:46:04The same would be.
00:46:10The same would be.
00:46:29Why don't you do something for her?
00:46:32I've done what I can for now.
00:46:34Later, an operation might be possible.
00:46:38I'm preserving the eye.
00:46:40Let me show you. Come over here.
00:46:49The cellular structure is being kept alive by these electrical vibrations.
00:46:53I use the same principle in keeping that hand alive.
00:46:58Bee is a very lucky girl.
00:47:02Do you think that's ironic?
00:47:04Let me explain.
00:47:07I'm the only man alive today capable of restoring your friend's sight.
00:47:12Dr. Alexis Carell, who pioneered the transplanting of vital human organs,
00:47:18kept a portion of an animal's heart alive for many years.
00:47:23For this, he received the Nobel Prize.
00:47:27And I, who have so far surpassed his efforts...
00:47:30Surely you don't want to compare yourself with Dr. Carell.
00:47:33He was humane.
00:47:35I, too, fight to preserve life,
00:47:37and to find the means to improve the lives of future generations.
00:47:41Your viewpoint is that narrow, ignorant one, held by the medical society today,
00:47:46which forces me to work in a place like this,
00:47:48to give in to the whims of a foolish old woman,
00:47:51because she can supply me with the funds I need to continue my work.
00:48:00You're going to be all right.
00:48:02Nina?
00:48:03Yes, Bee?
00:48:05What? I can't see.
00:48:07What?
00:48:08Your eyes are bandaged.
00:48:10Something happened.
00:48:12Don't think about it now.
00:48:15Listen to me, Bee.
00:48:16Are you listening? This is important.
00:48:18Yes.
00:48:19We must be ready if a chance comes.
00:48:22I remember now.
00:48:23It was Anita.
00:48:25She...
00:48:26Oh, my eye! My eye! My eye!
00:48:36I'd better leave.
00:48:37Let this chest take effect.
00:48:41I'm a doctor. I'll take care of her.
00:48:43I'm sure you will take excellent care of her,
00:48:46until your plans call for something else.
00:48:50Or am I to be the next one, Doctor?
00:49:03There.
00:49:04You got all the clothes?
00:49:06Yes.
00:49:07And made my hair appointment?
00:49:09I took care of everything on your list,
00:49:11while you were talking with the lawyer.
00:49:14Hair appointment, Monday, 10 a.m.,
00:49:16Charles of the Ritz,
00:49:18under Nina's name.
00:49:21I'll want Nina to model these later,
00:49:24after I've rested.
00:49:26You tell her.
00:49:35They're back.
00:49:37I'll have to leave you now.
00:49:39Remember, I'm going to try to get us out of here tonight.
00:49:42No.
00:49:44Forget about me. I won't go.
00:49:47Bee.
00:49:49Don't talk like that.
00:50:05Mrs. March had not realized her new body
00:50:07had such a satisfactory shape.
00:50:09Perhaps not as spectacular as the English girl,
00:50:12but in excellent taste.
00:50:14She couldn't help being amused.
00:50:16The stupid girl was not only modeling
00:50:18Mrs. March's future wardrobe,
00:50:20but Mrs. March's future body.
00:50:22So firm.
00:50:24So nicely rounded in places men like.
00:50:28You might have knocked when you came in, Victor.
00:50:32I'm sorry.
00:50:34Don't stop your style show on my account.
00:50:36Does my age at Lockenvar disturb you?
00:50:41Betty, that's unkind.
00:50:43Shut up.
00:50:45You see, it's hard for a vain, stupid man
00:50:49to realize that he holds a woman's heart.
00:50:53You're not needed now, Victor.
00:50:56Close the door quietly when you go out.
00:51:00I'm not going to be needed at all.
00:51:04That's what you're saying, isn't it?
00:51:07After tomorrow, when...
00:51:09Victor!
00:51:11That's enough.
00:51:13I'm not going to be needed at all.
00:51:16I'm not going to be needed at all.
00:51:19I'm not going to be needed at all.
00:51:23Get out!
00:51:24It's the way it's going to be when what?
00:51:34Don't ask tiresome questions.
00:51:37That will be enough for tonight.
00:51:39I want us both to get some rest.
00:51:42Try to sleep.
00:51:43But Mrs. March...
00:51:44That's an order!
00:51:46Do as I say!
00:51:52You're not looking for me, are you?
00:52:13Why would a pretty young girl want to be around an old man?
00:52:18What did you try to tell Mrs. March?
00:52:23So that's what you plan to do.
00:52:26Get rid of old Victor once you get all that money.
00:52:30The only thing is, of course, it won't really be you.
00:52:36Victor, please tell me.
00:52:38Try to make sense.
00:52:40I am telling you.
00:52:42Tomorrow, you'll be one of the richest women in the world.
00:52:47There's a press release.
00:52:49It's in the mails now.
00:52:51To all the major news syndicates.
00:52:54Orphan Girl Soul Heir to March Millions.
00:52:58Nina Rhodes is a lucky star.
00:53:06I don't understand.
00:53:08The next press release will be March Mansion Destroyed by Fire.
00:53:13Cinderella Girl, Nina Rhodes, Soul Survivor.
00:53:18Only it won't be you.
00:53:22It's a pity, too.
00:53:24You're nice the way you are.
00:53:30Please don't let it happen.
00:53:32You could help me and Bea get away.
00:53:36When you're a rich woman, you wouldn't forget an old friend.
00:53:41A friend who'd saved your life, would you?
00:53:50Get out of the car.
00:53:51And stay there.
00:53:52Victor, we, too.
00:53:53We must come, too.
00:53:56Wait a minute.
00:53:59Just to make sure.
00:54:15Sign this.
00:55:22Bea, you've got to come with me.
00:55:32No.
00:55:33I won't go.
00:55:34Why should I want to go on living like this?
00:55:39I'll get Victor to help me, and we will carry you.
00:55:51Did you want something from Victor, dear?
00:55:56Sit down, my dear.
00:55:59I'm afraid you're wearing yourself out with all this rushing around.
00:56:03I don't like that.
00:56:05You realize she's mad, don't you, Dr. Frank?
00:56:08Relax.
00:56:09Hurry, doctor.
00:56:14I'll be ready for you shortly, Mrs. March.
00:56:17I'll be waiting.
00:56:32It's finally about to happen.
00:56:39You don't know what it's been like for me,
00:56:44living with this ugly body of mine.
00:56:50Knowing that any attention I received was not for me, but my money.
00:57:00Well, nobody got any of it.
00:57:10I've never known what it was like to be loved for myself alone.
00:57:19Why did you kill Victor, Mrs. March?
00:57:22Victor?
00:57:26Victor was a fool.
00:57:32I'm a practical woman, Dr. Frank.
00:57:36A businesswoman.
00:57:38I've never been a very practical person.
00:57:41I suppose that makes me a fool, too, in your eyes.
00:57:45Of course not.
00:57:46Relax, Mrs. March.
00:57:47Just relax.
00:57:49Relax.
00:58:19Waking up, are you?
00:58:41Good.
00:58:43I want to talk to you.
00:58:52You signed a paper making Victor your legal guardian.
00:58:55That's right, isn't it?
00:58:58I did something, didn't I?
00:59:01That would probably work as well for me.
00:59:05We could stay here.
00:59:08None of this would have to be destroyed.
00:59:12You're getting better, aren't you?
00:59:14Why don't you try it on your own?
00:59:19I wonder now if Mrs. March didn't intend blowing me up along with all the rest of this.
00:59:30You're a very wealthy woman now, Niner.
00:59:33What I must decide is how to keep you and your friends available.
00:59:38You're the least amount of nuisance to myself.
00:59:42I could keep you under sedation until your signature was required.
00:59:48Or I could replace your brain with one more amino.
00:59:54What about Mrs. March, Doctor?
00:59:57Mrs. March no longer has a thing to say.
01:00:01Do you, my dear?
01:00:06Completely recovered, I'd say.
01:00:09How do you feel?
01:00:17I guess the transplant would be better.
01:00:19It won't hurt.
01:00:27Dr. Frank had enjoyed this transplantation.
01:00:30Mrs. March's brain winding up in the body of a cat.
01:00:35Poetic justice to think of autocratic Mrs. March scavenging in back alley garbage cans for her dinner.
01:00:51But Mrs. March doesn't take things lying down.
01:02:51Mrs. March did not intend to let her mother die.
01:03:01Mrs. March did not intend to let her money get out of sight.
01:03:22She would follow that girl.
01:03:24Sometime, someplace, revenge would come.
