Should you see it? Yes. It's silly enough for a view.
John Carradine plays a mad scientist who discovers a 17th gland, containing the secret of youth and long life. He gets Tor Johnson to kidnap mental patients for experiments, who end up as mutants in the basement. Carradine overacts and plays the organ (like he did in The Black Cat in 1934). There's a buried alive sequence and a silly twist ending. Tor turns on carradine, releasing Allison Hayes and escaped convict Myron healy.
I'm pretty sure Tor does not turn on Carradine. The buried-alive Jethro is dug up by Myron Healy, and Jethro comes in the house with a knife to Carradine's complete amazement. SPOILER ALERT. Tor comes in afterwards and looks completely at a loss. Maybe the author is thinking of Bride of the Monster where Tor turns on Bela Lugosi and the two fight it out in the laboratory.
