- SynopsisHorror. Disenchanted with the pop scene, young songwriter Jason Jones decides to take a short holiday at Dr Storm's 'Health Hotel', where he finds himself the potential victim of an experimental lobotomy. On the train there, he has met Judy Peters, who is also going there, to meet her only living relative, her aunt, who works there. Jason and Judy soon find themselves trapped in the hospital-like stately home, with the mad Dr Storm determined to perform surgery on their brains that will leave them totally obedient to his will and impervious to pain. People trying to escape are liable to have their heads cut off by the blade that comes out of the side of Storm's Rolls-Royce. Alongside Abraham, who has come to look for his girlfriend Millie, they try to escape by getting the resident dwarf servant, Frederick, to help them. Yet even now there are secrets about Dr Storm's true identity that they cannot guess at. (Synopsis)
