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.
