Movie Description
A renowned plastic surgeon replaces the crushed hands of a pianist with those of a guillotined murderer. The murderer's hands soon take on a life of their own.
Synopsis
Creepy Dr. Gogol just got a maniacally fine idea.
Night after night, he watches with perverse glee as actress Yvonne's character is tortured and tormented in a play. Gogol later purchases a figurine of her and worships it.
When Yvonne's pianist husband Stephen has to have his lucrative hands amputated, following a railway accident, Gogol decides to graft new hands onto Stephen's wrists.
Not just anyone's limbs, either, for Gogol places the hands of an executed strangler where Stephen's used to be...
Film Notes
