A distinguished NYU psychology professor Brenner ( Lugosi ) moonlights as Karl Wagner, who runs a soup kitchen for the indigent called the "Bowery Friendly Mission". The outfit is a secret hideout for a criminal gang run by Wagner. With the help of alcoholic "Doc" Brooks ( Kelly ) Wagner re-animates dead criminals to continue his nefarious schemes. Richard Dennison ( Archer ) discovers the nature of the operation and falls victim. Capt. Mitchell ( MacDonald ) tries to get to the bottom of the hijinx at the mission. Familiar faces Tom Neal ( made famous in film noir classic "Detour" ) as Frankie Mills, and Dave O'Brien as Peter Crawford populate this neat little mystery / horror film. Look for a poster at a theatre showing "The Corpse Vanishes", another Lugosi film!
