"The path to knowledge is always dangerous..."Dr. Marlowe (Christopher Lee) experiments on himself and releases the pent up personality Mr. Blake. Blake enables Marlowe enact on his inner desires. What begins as an almost child like character becomes more and more bestial with each transformation. Dr Utterson (Peter Cushing) is Marlowe's friend and colleague who gradually comes to believe that Blake is a detrimental influence on Marlowe, little knowing the truth.
A thinly veiled Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, which works rather well, due mainly on the fine casting of Lee and Cushing.
