Dr. Bill Cortner (Jason Evers) and his fiancée, Jan Compton (Virginia Leith), are driving to his lab when they get into a horrible car accident. Compton is decapitated. But Cortner is not fazed by this seemingly insurmountable hurdle. His expertise is in transplants, and he is excited to perform the first head transplant. Keeping Compton's head alive in his lab, Cortner plans the groundbreaking yet unorthodox surgery. First, however, he needs a body.
| nudity | None. Well, there are a couple of hootchie-cootchie dancers, a figure model in a two-piece swimming suit, and a bathing beauty contest. |
| violence | A woman is decapitated in a car wreck. Her head is bundled up and stolen away. It then becomes a major character sitting in a dish of dark fluid with tubes going in and out of it. Another woman is shown to be horribly scarred on one side of her face. A woman is drugged to facilitate murdering her. A monster tears a man's arm off. He bleeds to death while flailing around and smearing blood all over the walls. A grotesque monster bites a chunk out of a man's neck, and he bleeds to death. Of course, the film is in black and white. So it's not as gruesome as it sounds. There's no blood squirting out of the wounds or anything like that. |
| profanity | 1 use of "tramp" and 1 use of "shit". |
| alcohol | A principal character smokes cigarettes throughout the film. There are a few instances of people drinking liquor--even calling attention to it. |
| frightening | There are a series of sequences in which a man tries to pick up different women so that he can cut their heads off. People who are scared by cheap 50s horror movies will be particularly scared by this one. |
