ynopsis
Jonathan Drake (Eduard Franz), a university professor specializing in the occult, is summoned to home of his brother, Kenneth Drake (Paul Cavanagh), when a family curse threatens Kenneth's life. Jonathan Drake arrives too late to save his brother from a violent death and subsequent decapitation before his burial. The curse is the work of Dr. Emil Zurich (Henry Daniell) and his assistant Zutai (Paul Wexler), who are undead survivors of the massacre of a South American jungle settlement some 200 years earlier, which was led by one of Jonathan Drake's ancestors. Now, compelled to act by revenge and supernatural destiny, Zurich and Zutai lay their plans to murder and then behead Jonathan Drake, which will end the curse on the Drake family.
