Hetty March (Eaton) is a rich old lady with plenty of money. With the help of rogue scientist Dr. Otto Frank (Gerstle) kept on retainer, she intends to have her brain (through the miracle of modern 1964 atomics) transferred into a young body.

Will the scientist be able to gain something from this? And do the three donors suspect what awaits them?
