This science fiction drama from Universal gives equal star billing to Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. The two rivals do not share even one scene and both actually stand back stage to Stanley Ridges. Ridges is a college professor that is killed after being accidentally run down by a gangster. Karloff is a doctor that tries to keep his friend alive by putting the gangster's brain in the professor's body. Ridges goes from mild mannered teacher to ruthless killer during mental flash backs. Lugosi has a lesser role; playing a gangster.
Very interesting film that squeezes in a lot of action in about an hour and nine minutes. Solid direction from Arthur Lubin. Also in the cast are: Anne Nagel and Anne Gwynne.
