This is the only colour film that Bela Lugosi had a starring role. He also had an uncredited minor role in another colour film which only black and white copies survive.
The film starts with a woman lying on a mortuary slab awaiting her autopsy, and she then narrates how she got there. Lugosi plays Leonide, a hypnotist.
