The film offers more ghoulish glee than their Frankenstein outing. At the Lost Caverns Hotel, bellhop Freddie Phillips is suspected of murder. Swami Talpur tries to hypnotize him into confessing, but Freddie’s dim wit thwarts the plan. Inspector Wellman uses Freddie to trap the real killer, clearing the Swami.
