The Verdict

San Francisco, a girl, engaged to a fortune teller, one day wakes up with a strange growth on her neck; she soon discovers that this metamorphosis is due to the spirit of an Indian sorcerer who has chosen her body to reincarnate. Science will come to the girl's aid.

San Francisco, a girl, engaged to a fortune teller, one day wakes up with a strange growth on her neck; she soon discovers that this metamorphosis is due to the spirit of an Indian sorcerer who has chosen her body to reincarnate. Science will come to the girl's aid. A strange horror: the idea of reincarnation-mutation is surely original, but after a good start, the film loses its way and becomes just another film.
