Shanks plot
"A new concept in the macabre in which the Good come out of the grave and the Evil are sent to fill the vacancy."
Tired of the cynical attitudes of his sister-in-law and her husband, the deaf-mute young Shanks seeks solace from an eccentric elderly scholar who moves into an immense residence outside the city. There he is offered work in a laboratory. He has to bring dead animals back to life via an ingenious device that is controlled remotely. When his elderly friend dies, he decides to continue the experiment on his corpse.
