[edit] Plot
At some time prior to the United States' involvement in World War II, a small plane somewhere in the Caribbean is low on fuel and blown off course by a storm. Guided by a faint radio signal, they crash-land on an island. The passenger, his manservant and the pilot take refuge in a mansion owned by a doctor. The easily-frightened manservant soon becomes convinced the mansion is haunted by zombies. Exploring, the three observe strange goings-on, although the doctor dismisses their concerns. They soon learn that the doctor is concealing something very sinister.
