 Paul Naschy plays a hunchback with below average intelligence who works at the morgue. He is in love with a sickly girl who happens to be the only person who is kind to him. Each day he brings her flowers until the day she dies. He never really accepts her death and believes she is just sleeping. The girl eventually ends up at the morgue where she is being prepared for burial. Naschy's character flips out at the desecration of the girls body and stabs and decapitates the men in the only scene of gore in the movie. The police begin to look for him. This is when the Hunchback meets up with a mad scientist who's work isn't accepted by the general society. The scientist promises the Hunchback that he would re-animate the girl's body if the Hunchback brings him fresh bodyparts from the graveyard and live victims. He uses the parts to create a monster.

Movie Trivia:
- Permission was given to use a real corpse for the head-severing scene. But Jacinto Molina (aka Paul Naschy) took two swigs of whiskey because he couldn't get past the first cut into the throat. A dummy head was used thereafter.
-
In the most talked about scene, Molina/ Naschy was set upon by real rats. He had to be inoculated against possible rabies. It was also the real Maria Elena Arpon and not a mannequin lying on a slab with the rodents nestling and nibbling all over her. Some of the rats were burned alive on camera.
-
German Import DVD has a Super-8mm Version (German language only), as a special feature on the disc.
