Two doctors are in love with the same woman, but when she develops a tumor on her heart, and Dr. Manning operates on her.....but she dies. Later, when Dr. Manning suffers from a brain tumor, Dr. Jerome successfully uses psychosomatic medicine on him to save his life. However, a car accident leaves him dead for nearly three months, but also prevents Dr. Manning from decaying by post hypnotic suggestion until he hears the key word "Laurie." When he hears this word, he instantly dissolves into a bag of putrescent slime.
