Professor Charles Conway is a mad scientist attempting to develop the proverbial fountain of youth by creating "the 17th gland". Ignoring all aspects of scientific ethics, his research subjects are people who have no family and are under the impression that the doctor can cure their depression. However, his research hasn't been successful and his subjects are turned into grotesque zombies. Some of Conway's patients begin to catch on to his scheme and intend to stop him.

Review :
Toccata & Puke
Oily, smarmy Charles Conway (John Carradine) is a mad scientist obsessed
with discovering the secret to immortality. In his isolated mansion deep in the heart of nowhere, he conducts sinister experiments on society's forgotten victims
- lovely girls with no families for the most part, but also uncontrollable
when surgically implanted into a beautiful young girl, will supposedly render her immortal, but which instead turns her into human beef jerky. The next victim in line is lovely Allison Hayes, who takes a break from playing bitchy vixens and 50 foot tall women to play the role of innocent and depressed Grace. Can
super-manly handsome police stud Mark Houston save her in time?
This is a very silly film with some pretty good acting. Arthur Batanides goes over the top in his role of hyper freak Danny, and Lobo lumbers around the set like a giant toddler, spouting such memorable lines as: "Time for go to bed!" John
Carradine looks a little embarrassed by the whole thing, but they try to make the best of a bad, cheap situation. Allison Hayes is sweet and ultra-feminine as Grace, running around in see-through nighties, looking adoringly up at Mark
and sobbing a lot. Myron Healey seems to be wishing that he'd been Dana
Andrews in "Laura," and does a halfway decent imitation as the street-smart
detective who gets the girl. The tension builders consist of a twitchy guy in a basement and John Carradine plays Bach on the organ over and over and
OVER again to set the proper mood. If the mood was supposed to be restless
irritation, then I guess he succeeded. But really, this isn't a bad little film all in all. Fans of Ed Wood's brand of schlock may very well enjoy it, if only to see Tor Johnson playing - what else? - a big bald weirdo. On a scale of 10. I'd give it an even 5.
