Two bumbling press agents must search for a zombie to fulfill a commitment to their ex-gangster boss's new nightclub or face the consequences.

Two inept press agents are ordered to the island of San Sebastian to get a zombie for an opening night publicity stunt of a nightclub. They find a likely source in Dr. Paul Renault, who has spent much time studying (and experimenting) on the subject, but Renault has other ideas.—Ken Yousten <[email protected]>

Jerry Miles (Wally Brown) and Mike Strager (Alan Carney), press agents for a new night club in New York City, owned by Ace Miller (Sheldon Leonard,), plan to star a zombie as part of the opening night publicity. Ace, fearing exposure, if the zombie isn't "real", by Douglas Walker (Louis Jean Heydt), a militant radio commentator in the mode of Walter Winchell, threatens the two agents with a sudden demise. THey hasten to the Virgin Islands, where Professor Paul Renault (Bela Lugosi), the maddest of mad doctors, has set up a zombie-producing company. They meet Jean La Danse (Anne Jeffreys), a café entertainer, who aids them in their quest.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
