Vincent Price is the son of a notorious Spanish Inquisition torturer. His wife (Barbara Steele) has died under mysterious circumstances. When her brother (John Kerr) investigates, he comes to believe he has buried his wife alive and is driven to insanity...

Despair and death hang heavy on this period suspense-horror in which Vincent plays Spanish aristocrat Don Nicholas Medina, a man who is driven insane by his adulterous wife. It is a deliciously sinister performance which rates as one of his best.

Betrayal cuts both ways!
