England, 1872. The night before he is to be hanged for a murder he
did not commit, young Dr. Gordon Ramsey is visited in his cell by
his old mentor, eminent surgeon Sir Joel Cadmund. Cadmund offers to
see that Ramsey gets a proper burial and gives him a sleeping powder
to get him through the night, which Ramsey takes, unaware it is really
an East Indian drug, "nind andhera" ("the black sleep"), which induces
a deathlike state of anesthesia. Pronounced dead in his cell, he is
turned over to Cadmund, who promptly revives him and takes him to his
home in a remote abbey. Cadmund explains he believes Ramsey is innocent
and needs his talents to help him in an project, which he is reluctant
to immediately discuss further. In fact, Cadmund's wife lies in a coma
from a deep-seated brain tumor, and he is attempting to find a safe
surgical route to its site by experimenting on the brains of others. (IMDB)
