Pierre Brasseur is Dr Génessier, a brilliant and obsessive plastic surgeon driven by the need to restore his daughter s disfigured face and push the boundaries of his field. Aided by his loyal assistant Alida Valli, who lures young women to his secluded chateau in pursuit of his dark quest. Eugen Schüfftan's stunning cinematography lends the chateau an almost Cocteau-esque life of its own, and Edith Scob is quite remarkable as the ravaged beauty.

A surgeon feels responsible when his beautiful daughter is disfigured in a car crash. He tries to restore her features by kidnapping runaway girls, peeling off their faces and grafting them onto his daughter`s.
