La carne y el demonio (1960)
El doctor Robert Knox imparte clases de anatomía a jóvenes estudiantes en la Academia que lleva su nombre. Al concluir una de sus clases, el prestigioso Knox recibe la visita de su prima, mientras horas más tarde se cita a altas horas de la madrugada con Billy Burke y William Hare, un par de siniestros personajes del pueblo que proveen al veterano profesor de cadáveres recientes para sus prácticas. El modus operandi de Burke y Hare resulta siempre el mismo en sus inicios: el asesinato de viejos sin recursos económicos perpetrados cerca o dentro de la casa del primero, provista de habitaciones para huéspedes, que regenta junto a su esposa. Pero el perfil de las víctimas cambia cuando Hare intenta violar a Mary Patterson, la díscola y alcohólica prometida de Christopher Jackson, uno de sus alumnos menos brillantes de la clase de anatomía cuyas clases dirige Knox.
