(1936) On the Franco-Austrian Frontier during WWI, an oriental priest, chaplain of a French colonial regiment, is condemned to life imprisonment because he possesses the power of turning men into zombies. In his prison cell, when the priest is preparing to burn the parchment containing the location of the secret formula, Colonel Mazovia kills him and takes the partially-burned parchment. After the war, an expedition of representatives from all the Allies is sent to Cambodia to find and destroy forever the Secret of the Zombies. The group includes Colonel Mazovia, a student of dead languages, Armand Louque (Dean Jagger), Englishman Clifford Grayson (Robert Noland) and General Duval (George Cleveland) and his daughter Claire (Dorothy Stone.) Armand falls in love with Claire, who accepts his proposal of marriage in order to spite Clifford whom she really loves. Later, when Claire, following an accident, runs to Cliff for comfort, Armand breaks the engagement, leaving her free to marry Cliff. However, Armand discovers the power to make zombies out of people, beginning with a practice run on his servant before taking up that little matter of the fickle Claire. Armand is not one to be trifled with...
Trivia: The eyes that are frequently superimposed on the screen are those of Bela Lugosi. They were taken from Victor Halperin's earlier film White Zombie (1932).
