- Synopsis:
- Sir Robert Cargrave (Ronald Lewis) is an eminent surgeon who has developed a new technique for muscle relaxation. He is summoned by his one-time love, Maude (Audrey Dalton), who is now married to Baron Sardonicus (Guy Rolfe). When he arrives, he finds villagers who live in fear. The Baron is strange man, not the least because he covers his face with a mask. Eventually, he tells Sir Robert the story of how he acquired his current affliction - his face is is frozen and hideously disfigured. Despite Sir Robert's best efforts, he can't return his face to normal. The Baron however forces him to keep trying, threatening to harm Maude if he refuses.
