The Hands of Orlac

The frightening nightmare of a man who finds himself with hands which he can't control!

Famed concert pianist Stephen Orlac survives a plane crash, but his hands are permanently destroyed. Helpful surgeon Volcheff grafts a pair of new hands on the hapless Orlac. Unfortunately, they're the hands of an executed murderer – useless for a pianist, but quite handy for less delicate work...
