About
A series of strange murders are taking place and the only lead is a scent. The same after-shave lotion can be smelt on the bodies of all the victims. Horror maestro Bela Lugosi shines as a mad scientist hell bent on revenge in this restored B-grade delight. Lugosi plays Dr. Paul Carruthers whose invention of a cold cream has made his employers millions but when it comes to his share of the profits, the corporation greedily cuts him out of the loop. The only solution is to engineer a giant murderous bat that issues blood-curdling screams and seeks out its victims by the after-shave lotion they are given to wear.
