Synopsis

A mentally unbalanced doctor-explorer brings back a tree from the Amazon that strangles and ingests victims. The doctor lures victims to his laboratory for the tree in order to extract a liquid from the latter which is supposed to bring the dead back to life. The tree strangles his housekeeper and a fairground girl manages to escape his clutches in time. The tree is burned as he is stabbed in his laboratory.
