A scientist harvests the brain of a sinister millionaire which starts to exert its control on the obsessed doctor.    

After a violent plane crash, millionaire W. H. Donovan is brought to the office of Dr. Patrick Cory, whose research is on the preservation of a living brain.  Unable to revive Donovan, Dr. Cory quickly removes his brain from his body and finds that the brain still functions.  Donovan’s brain starts to impose its’ thoughts and will on Dr. Cory, leaving Dr. Cory in an amnestic state while living the life of Donovan, even mimicking his physical symptoms.  Unable to break the bond himself, it is up to those close to Dr. Cory to end the brains run.
