A mysterious old woman approaches Dr. Paul Talbot (Phillip Terry) and promises to reveal to him the secret of eternal youth. Following her to Africa, he and his wife June Talbot (Coleen Gray) witness the secret ceremony that utilizes orchid pollen and a man's pineal gland secretions. June returns to the United States alone and proceeds to keep herself young by killing men for their pineal secretions. Eventually the cops come to investigate the murders and June kills herself by leaping from a window.
