A woman is married to the son of a doctor who is the proprietor of a private sanatorium where the woman is undergoing unwilling treatment. Both son and doctor indicate they want the marriage dissolved. Then enter a mysterious stage magician from Europe, identified as the doctor's cousin, Bela Lugosi. Lugosi is accompanied by a threatening person (Angelo Rossitto). The institutionalized woman is terrified of the foreigners and it is disclosed that she is the former stage partner of a Paris magician known as Rene who was believed to have been shot by the Nazis. Attempts to make the woman confess that she betrayed her husband and had collaborated with the Nazis leads to a device known as the 'death mask' which literally frightens the woman to death. Although, a newspaperman and his sweetheart guess the answer to the story they allow the diagnosis 'scared to death' to stand. This is a rare treat of a film featuring the world- famous, Bela Lugosi, and is a classic among classics!
