Plot
Dr. Laurience (Karloff), a once-respectable scientist, begins to research the origins of the mind and soul in an isolated manor house, aided only by the promising surgeon Clare Wyatt (Lee) and a wheelchair-bound confederate named Clayton (Donald Calthrop). Donald Calthrop ( 11 April, 1888 &ndash 15 July, 1940) was an English film actor The scientific community rejects his theories and Laurience risks losing everything for which he has worked so obsessively. To save his research, Laurience (pronounced "Lorenz") begins to use his discoveries in brain transference for his own nefarious purposes, replacing the mind of philanthropist Lord Haslewood (Frank Cellier) with the personality of the crippled, caustic Clayton. With Lord Haslewood's wealth and prestige at his command, Laurience becomes an almost unstoppable mad scientist.
Despite a powerful patron and a state-of-the-art laboratory, chain-smoking Laurience remains the typical absent-minded professor, with eraser dust on the back of his wrinkled jacket, and in constant, desperate need of a strong hairbrush. A laboratory (informally lab) is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific Research, Experiments and The meaning of the word professor ( Latin: professor, person who professes to be an expert in some art or science teacher of highest rank) varies However, he is not immune to the feminine charms of the lovely Dr. Wyatt. He attempts to take control of the body of Lord Haslewood's handsome son Dick (John Loder) in an effort to seduce Clare, but finds it impossible to disguise his own strange physicality even in the body of another man. John Loder ( April 7 1946 - August 12 2005) was a British sound engineer, Record producer and founder of Nor can he go without a cigarette in front of Clare although he is aware that young Dick Haslewood never smoked. A cigarette ( French "small Cigar " from cigar + -ette) is a product consumed through Smoking and manufactured Unfortunately, before transferring his mind with that of Dick, Laurience strangled Clayton, who was inhabiting the body of Lord Haslewood, so that Dick, afterwards a prisoner in Laurience's own body, would be hanged for the murder of the man presumed to be his father.
Realizing the truth, Clare and her friend Dr. Gratton (Cecil Parker) return Laurience's mind to its proper body, but that body has been badly broken in a panicked fall out of a high window, taken while Dick Haslewood was in unwilling possession. Cecil Parker (3 September 1897 &ndash 20 April 1971 was an English character and comedy actor with a distinctive husky voice who usually played supporting roles in his 91 films made Admitting he has wasted an incredible invention on a selfish and murderous scheme, the shattered Laurience tells Clare he should never have meddled with the human soul. He takes his knowledge to the grave, having changed his mind for the last time.
