The surgeon Dr. Ernest Sovac is to be executed in the electric chair - he not only used his medical knowledge to save human lives, but was also involved in a serious crime in his work as a doctor. Shortly before the death penalty is carried out, the whole incident is replayed: In a serious traffic accident, one of the doctor's friends is seriously injured: the English lecturer Professor George Kingsley, who is diagnosed as brain dead. To save him, Dr. Sovac gave the patient parts of the brain of the criminal Red Cannon, who was also seriously injured at the same time.

24-page booklet with an essay by Robert Zion; Audio commentary with film historian Constantine Nasr; Documentary: »A Good Game: Karloff and Lugosi at Universal: Part 4 - 'Black Friday'«
