Jonathan Drake (Eduard Franz) is an anthropologist investigating a South American Indian curse that has befallen his family. Male members of his family die aged 60 and their heads go missing, this happens to his own brother (Paul Cavanagh) and Jonathan is next! The missing head brings in Lieutenant Rowan (Grant Richards) of the police. He is sceptical that something supernatural is going on, but when he discovers the mysterious Dr Zurich (Henry Daniell) is apparently a man who died two hundred years ago, and has a secret basement lair including bubbling cauldrons and shrunken heads...
The story is low budget (which shows sometimes) but has an interesting premise and is a perfectly acceptable little film. Most of the action comes from Zurich's Indian assassin Zutai (Paul Wexler) though try not to laugh when his "deadly" blade is obviously rubber and wobbles about during the fight scenes!
