A criminal is executed and his body sold to a scientist for experimentation. The scientist reanimates the corpse and the criminal seeks revenge on his former co-workers for having betrayed him and letting him get caught. The undead criminal is immune to most types of damage and mute due to the procedures of the scientist who reanimated him. A showgirl turns out to be a valuable contact for the police as they try to track down this immortal killer.
I found the plot to be interesting and very clearly presented. The characters were in classic gangster crime/film noir roles, but they worked in this context. Obviously the video was in black and white and the audio was a little treble-biased, but these facts did not detract a great deal from the film. Style was pretty generic and standard for the date, but the pacing felt natural and presented events in a timely fashion. Considering the generic style and absolute mountain of movies I watch, I probably wouldn't watch it again. The clear presentation and general coherence lead me to rate it adequate. I would recommend viewing if you watch lots of movies or are just looking for something slightly better than average to pass the time.
