Richard Greene plays Sir Ronald Burton, who goes to the "black castle" of evil Count Karl Von Bruno(played by Stephen McNally) whom he suspects of murdering his two friends. He meets the Count's attractive wife Elga, who had been forced to marry him. Naturally, they fall in love, and are aided by Dr. Meissen(played by Boris Karloff) who does all he can to help, but they are found out, leading them to take drastic actions... Lon Chaney Jr. costars as hulking servant Gargon, who tends to a pit of alligators in the Count's dungeons. Mediocre film quite similar to "The Strange Door", which also wasted Karloff in a small role, and likewise may make a suitable double-feature on a rainy day, but that's all.
