The Walking Dead

Directed by Michael Curtiz

With Boris Karloff, Ricardo Cortez, Edmund Gwenn, Marguerite Churchill and Warren Hull

Down-on-his-luck John Ellman is framed for a judge's murder. After he's convicted and sentenced to death, witnesses come forth and prove his innocence. But it was too late for a stay to be granted and Ellman is executed. A doctor uses an experimental procedure to restore him to life, though the full outcome is other than expected.
