What is the connection between these six men, all of them outwardly respectable members of Washingtonian society? Hero Don (Clayton Moore) and heroine Alice (Joan Barclay) suspect that the answer lies with the mysterious, wryly philosophical Dr. Melcher (Bela Lugosi), a world-famous plastic surgeon. It turns out that Melcher is part of an elaborate espionage scheme hatched by the dreaded Black Dragon Society of Japan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bela Lugosi hypnotizes six industrialists/war profiteers, then kills them. A tedious and preposterous anti-Japanese propaganda mystery that's mainly interesting for its peek into wartime psychology.

How has this stodgy, no-budget piece of awfulness managed to weedle its way into the horror genre? It's just a ludicrous, poorly scripted and badly filmed borefest featuring one of the worst actors for the role. Even if it was originally some kind of wartime propaganda film, it is still no excuse. The only horror about this movie is that it was made at all.
