Dr. Joseph Van Ee (George Zucco) runs the equivalent of a halfway house for strange characters, including hypnotist Prof. Leonide (Bela Lugosi) and his “midget” companion, Indigo (Angelo Rossitto). It’s a bunch of nonsense that I cannot begin to explain, but culminates in a woman’s murder, revealed from her dead body in the morgue.

This must have been from the period when Lugosi could not get a job. This movie is less than six degrees of separation from Ed Wood. yet I enjoyed a few of its humorous aspects. Overall, though, it’s too silly and talky. That makes some sense because it was adapted from a one-act play.

    If I’m not mistaken this serves as the only movie that features Bela that was made in color. A minor piece of useless trivia that I strive to keep on top of. Lol.
