Plots(1)
Vincent Price plays a 16th century Spanish nobleman who slowly goes crazy when he thinks that his wife has been buried alive. It's all a joint plot between the supposed dead wife and her doctor/lover to get Price's money. Price, now totally insane, assumes his father's identity (that of a grand inquisitor) and starts to murder! (official distributor synopsis)
