Baron Sardonicus (Guy Rolfe) strikes it rich after digging up his father's grave to salvage a winning lottery ticket. There is one problem: as a result of his horrid experience, his face froze in a hideous grimace. He tries various cures, but none will work, so he visits a famous neurosurgeon. The doctor is able to take care of this little problem–but the consequences may be worse than the original condition. Oskar Homolka is excellent as the creepy servant.
