The Man with Two Brains

Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, a skilled brain surgeon, grapples with the deep grief of losing his beloved wife. This loss propels him into his work, where he makes significant advancements in neurosurgery.

Michael’s life takes an unexpected turn when he accidentally hits Dolores Benedict with his car. Shortly after, it’s revealed that Dolores has been involved in the mysterious death of her husband and is now seeking to manipulate her situation.

After rescuing Dolores, Michael becomes involved with her, and they eventually marry. However, their relationship is complicated as Dolores pretends to suffer from debilitating headaches to avoid intimacy.

During their honeymoon, which is also a work-related trip to Vienna, Michael is thrust into chaos as a serial killer, known as the Elevator Killer, terrorizes the city. This backdrop heightens the tension in their already strained relationship.

In Vienna, Michael meets Dr. Alfred Necessiter, a scientist with bizarre practices involving keeping brains in jars. This encounter sets the stage for Michael's further moral quandaries and ambitions in his field.

Michael discovers a telepathic connection with the brain of Anne Uumellmahaye, a preserved brain he feels drawn to. Their shared affection for the song 'Under the Bamboo Tree' deepens this bond, leading Michael to sneak Anne's brain out of the lab.

As Dolores becomes suspicious of Michael's late-night escapades, she uncovers his secret relationship with Anne's brain. This betrayal leads her to enact a vengeful plan to harm Anne, showcasing her manipulative nature.

In a fit of desperation and jealousy, Dolores attempts to destroy Anne's brain by trying to burn it. This act of aggression forces Michael to confront Dolores and ultimately leads to her being expelled from his life.

Necessiter informs Michael that Anne's brain has limited longevity and proposes a radical solution to save her. He encourages Michael to find a suitable female body for a brain transplant, heightening the stakes for them both.

In a bizarre twist, Michael finds Dolores's corpse in an elevator, discovering she has become the latest victim of the Elevator Killer. This sets him on a frantic path to use her body for his desperate plan involving Anne's brain.

With the police on his tail, Michael hastily drives to Necessiter's lab with Dolores's remains. His reckless driving draws unwanted attention, leading to a chaotic confrontation with the authorities.

In a climactic moment, Michael watches as Necessiter successfully transplants Anne's brain into Dolores's lifeless body. This event unfolds dramatically in front of the police, who have just cleared Michael of wrongdoing.

Following the transplant, unforeseen complications arise when Michael suffers an electrical shock from the equipment, plunging him into a coma. This becomes a pivotal moment that leaves his fate uncertain.

Weeks later, Michael awakens to find Anne's consciousness inhabiting Dolores's body, exhibiting surprising new traits, including a ravenous appetite. Despite the bizarre circumstances, Michael’s feelings for her remain unchanged.

In a heartfelt ceremony, Michael and Anne, now in Dolores's body, exchange vows. This unusual union highlights the blend of love and science in their relationship, despite the peculiarities surrounding them.

In a post-credits scene, viewers are warned about the continued threat of Merv Griffin, the infamous Elevator Killer. The cautionary message underscores the unresolved tensions and dangers that linger at the film's end.
