This is only movie I've ever seen where someone gets stabbed with a gun. The plot is similar to 1964's The Atomic Brain where a rich old lady hires pretty young servants so she can get a young body for a brain transplant. However in this one, it is a doctor who has a business where rich old ladies and men seek young bodies for eternal young and brain transplanting.
The doctor procures bodies by sending his squad of mutants into the city to search for good looking young people. Luckily for the mutants, two couples decide to take a short cut through an alley and before you know it, they are carted off to the doctors laboratory.
One of the kids manages to escape and tries to get the sheriff to help his friends. Unfortunately the sheriff doesn't believe the kid's story since in order to get his attention, the kid threw a rock through the police station window. Plus in another stupid move, he actually says that monsters grabbed his friends. Way to go brainiac!
The kid manages to escape and hides in a neighboring house whose occupant decides to help him since she sees that there are weird goings on across the street. She pretends that a friend recommended the doctor to her, gains entrance, and starts poking around the building. Apparently there are only four staff members as the nurse has to leave surgery to answer the door.
Eventually it all works out, sort of, although the Sheriff still doesn't believe what the kid says even though the first part of the story about his kidnapped friends turned out to be true.
Most disturbing thing about the film is not the fact that these immoral experiments are going on, but when the old lady gets her brain transplanted into the young body, but she's still got the old lady voice. Shudder!
