Nerdy Walter Paisley (Dick Miller, in the first of several "Walter Paisley" films) is a busboy in a Greenwich Village cafe frequented by artistic-type people. He admires their lifestyle, but at the same time he is jealous of their talents. One day while trying to save a cat, he accidentally kills it, and, in order to hide the killing, he covers it with plaster, thus making it a sculpture that goes on display at the cafe. The patrons consider it a work of art, and proclaim Walter to be a great artist. They want more, and the untalented Walter must resort to what was successful with the first sculpture–and people start disappearing. A real Roger Corman hoot–cheap but lots of fun.

Mad scientist Otto Frank (Frank Gerstle) has found a means of transplanting brains from one body to another with the aid of atomic power. Hetty finances his work that is to lead to her brain being placed into a young, sexy woman. But Otto's experiments with corpses lead to zombies or other creatures, so she hires three women to work for her who will be used for his continuing experiments, one of whom will be the recipient of her brain. The bad doctor has his own plans, which involve using Hetty's money for his research. Weird.
