The Man with Nine Lives (1940)
Un científico busca la cura para el cáncer con una serie de experimentos que consisten en congelar y descongelar seres humanos. Uno de sus pacientes es un adinerado tío, cuyo sobrino exige saber sobre su salud, debido a que si muere, será beneficiario de una generosa herencia. El comisario sospecha que Karloff ha asesinado al viejo para quedarse con el dinero y junto con un doctor y un fiscal de distrito, marchan a la mansión de Karloff. Ahí las cosas se complican y Karloff termina congelado, junto con estos cuatro hombres, por el lapso de... ¡10 años! La llegada de un joven doctor y su novia permite el despertar de estos personajes, y la trama se complica.
