The Evil Touch

A wealthy woman whos raised a nephew in luxury has tolerated the insolent young man long enough. She informs the ingrate that shes changing her will to remove him as sole heir to her estate. Before she can act, he intends to exploit her heart condition and pin the murder on "the monster", a crazed killer roaming the countryside. Richard doesnt realize that the aunt is already anticipating his scheme.

Former pilot Willie Tremaine, the sole survivor of the airliner he was flying, is visited by the reporter who alleged Willie was drunk at the controls. Pettit brings with him an obituary of Willie and his wifes death dated for that day. Tremaine becomes frantic, fearing the reporter is there to harm him and his family.

Thomas Sullivan is a very well-respected heart surgeon- but one who is clamoring for even more success and recognition. He has the chance to perform a heart transplant on a fellow man of science when Gabor Skorzeny, a laborer who was killed in an automobile accident, is brought into Sullivans hospital. Skorzeny, however, isnt quite as dead as he would appear, so Sullivan kills him and takes the heart. Unfortunately for Sullivan, the murder wasnt quite a complete success either- as Skorzenys body is missing and Sullivan gets several mysterious telephone calls.
