Plot – A young scientist has found a magnetic fluid thanks to which, grafting a new brain into a dead man, it is possible to bring him back to life. In his experiment, though, he uses a brain that belonged to a crazy criminal. The result is a dangerous savage. The monster kills the guards and goes in search of the young scientist who gave him, so to speak, life. The man had gone to his native village to marry his girlfriend and the presence of the monster is reported in the village and a fierce hunt is organized. The young doctor manages to be saved just as he is about to be destroyed by the beast. Finally, the monster dies horribly in a fire.
