The Corpse Vanishes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Patricia Hunter is following the case of the Vanishing Brides, where dozens of young brides have suddenly been struck dead at the altar and their bodies mysteriously vanish en route to the morgue. The idiotic photographer who accompanies Patricia happens to find the flower given to the bride shortly before she walked down the aisle. The flower is an orchid that has the effect of putting anyone who inhales its scent into a comatose, death-like state.

This film features Mad Scientist Dr. Lorenz (Bela Lugosi).
