Released July 12, 1935
Featuring Ted Healy (Solo)
MGM
67.7 min. (Feature Film)

Acclaimed Paris surgeon Dr. Gogol (Peter Lorre) falls in love with stage actress Yvonne Orlac, and is heartbroken to learn that she recently married the famous concert pianist Stephen Orlac (Colin Clive). Stephen's hands are crushed in a train accident, and at Yvonne's request, Gogol performs surgery to save them... but unknown to the Orlacs, Gogol amputates and grafts on the hands of executed knife murderer Rollo. At first Orlac is disappointed to learn he may never play the piano again, but is soon horrified by a new-found fascination and skill with knives. Gogol inflames Stephen's mental instability, frames him for murder, and with Orlac out of the way, Gogol hopes to win the love of Yvonne.

Ted Healy plays an American reporter covering the execution of Rollo, who finds himself investigating Gogol's disposition of Rollo's body, and Stephen's murder case.
