When Dr. Arrowsmith [Muller] discovers that his wife Muriel [Steele] has been having an affair with grounds keeper David [Rik Battaglia], he decides to put a fiendish plan to kill the pair and take Muriel’s inheritance for himself into action. Muriel and David are tied up in the basement, tortured, electrocuted to death, have their hearts removed, and are eventually cremated – their ashes being put into the soil for one of Dr. Arrowsmith’s bizarre potted plants. Unfortunately for the Doctor and Solange [Line], the servant who helped him to concoct the scheme, Muriel left the castle and the rest of her inheritance for her stepsister Jenny [Steele as well, this time as a blond] to collect.
