Told in flashback by police detective Dick Chasen (Showalter), the movie concerns a 72-hour period of horror for the main characters. Charles „Butcher” Benton (Chaney) is a double-crossed convicted robber and murderer who was executed in the gas chamber. His body is unlawfully sold to a scientist (Robert Shayne of Adventures of Superman fame), who plans to move his testing to human subjects. The corpse is subjected to chemical injection and massive jolts of high-frequency electricity in order to study the effect on human tissues. But Benton’s heart is restimulated and he completely revives (though rendered mute due to electrical damage to his vocal cords), immensely strong and with skin virtually impervious – even to bazooka shells.
After killing the doctor and his assistant (Joe Flynn, pre-McHale’s Navy), Benton sets out to avenge himself on his attorney and the lawyer’s henchmen who, in collusion with the attorney, had betrayed Benton in order to steal his loot. Benton had left the location of his stash to his stripper-girlfriend (Carr), who had since gone straight and begun dating the detective who brought Benton to justice, after she had rejected the lawyer’s own advances.
The story then follows Benton’s revenge on his enemies; the police who first learn of a wave of mysterious killing, then of Benton’s reanimation; and the developing relationship between the detective and the stripper. The lawyer, fearing for his life after the two henchman are murdered, confesses the plot to the police, and reveals that Benton had always used the sewer system to evade detection; and to find a hiding place for the money, as it turns out.
Tracked down by the police, Benton is weakened but not killed when he takes a direct hit in the solar plexus from a bazooka, and is disfigured by a flame thrower. He runs to a power station, where he maneuvers metal equipment and himself into position to trigger a high-voltage jolt of electricity, which kills him. At the fade-out, Chasen proposes to his girlfriend.

I’m 72 and these films bring back great memories
Marilyn Monroe always so good. Dick Chasin was an open minded name for a man back then.
im sorry but is nobody gonna point out that his name is dick chasin im dead😚😂😂🤣
My parents used to take us on Angels flight when we were kids. We lived on Hillcrest drive not far from the flight.
Good movie-crappy ending!
Saw this movie first on CH 8 WJW TV Cleveland "Shock Theatre" with Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson) on a Friday night in the early 60's. Not bad for a low budget flick of the fifties. Most shocking back then to see Joe Flynn as the doctor's assistant. He was starring in Mchales' Navy at the time as "Capt. Binghamton".
In these old movies, whenever they indicate some big event that happens, they always show a newspaper headline. I guess it makes good "shorthand." But these days, hardly anybody reads newspapers anymore. They get their "news" from the TV or internet. Newspapers used to be handy to wrap garbage in, but now they use plastic bags for that. 😅
Recreated an died by high voltage electricity !!!!!
I'm 57 and still wet the bed. Wtf?
Why does Dick Chasen sound like Joe Friday from Dragnet?
I must have saw this about 40 years ago. I remember bits of it. Thanks for the memories!
Get another
Chaney gives a fantastic facial-expressions-performance here. The film as a whole was much better than I anticipated. It really held my attention. Thanks for the upload.
Love these older movies with those themes. Thanks.
I'll be 82 in June. My dad and I used to watch old movies on TV (when TV was new) and he took me to see King Kong when it made a return engagement in the early fifties. It was his favorite movie and has been one of mine since then! I remember he liked the old Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films. My mom didn't care for them, but she made us root beer floats.
A lot of old horror movies would never have been made if some scientist didn't occasionally need a dead body.
Max Showalter was greatness.
I grew up on Creature features and Chiller theater. Thanks for presenting these movies. Thanks for the memories.
"You're not supposed to say no to a detective." LOL 🥰
Why is a computer gadget called a Mouse?
