Transcript
A strange doctor weird. Good evening. Come in, won't you? You seem a bit nervous. Perhaps it would help if I told you a story about a friend of mine who had a most unusual experience.
You see, you was executed first and then committed murder afterwards. I called his story, The Man Who Lived Twice. My story, the man who lived twice, begins on the gallows, where Professor Carl Muller, world-famous scientist, is about to die for murder.
As the execution of finishes adjusting the rope around the condemned man's neck, the warden speaks. Well, Muller, is there anything you wish to say? Only this. You are hanging me for a crime I did not commit. Very well.
Then I shall become a criminal, a murderer. And you warden, you shall be one of the first to feel my vengeance. Proceed with the execution. Professor Williams. Yes, come quickly. Of course. Everything's ready and waiting.
Right here. Good. Start the artificial heart pumping, of course. Thanks to the governor's special order, everything wins smoothly. Cluck John. So you got it? Yes. The law has Professor Mueller's dead body, but we have his head.
The head containing the wonderful brain of Karl Mahler. The governor thought I wanted it to dissect it, but we'll bring it to life. It must work fast. In ten minutes with luck, we'll have brought back to life the genius that was Karl Mahler.
We've won, Professor. Look. His eyes, they blinked. Yes. Now they're opening. They're staring at us. His brain lives and knows what we're doing. Now, John, we must find some way to let that mighty brain we rescued from the grave speak to us.
