Bill, a doctor, is ahead of his time transplanting limbs and organs.
When Bill is in a car accident, his girlfriend, Jan, is burned and killed. Bill takes her decapitated head to his laboratory where he's able to keep her alive with the help of his assistant, Kurt.
Jan doesn't want to live and sees Bill as a monster. Jan is able to communicate mentally with a monster, created by Bill's experiments, locked in the closet.
While Bill is gone searching for a body Jan coaxed the monster into getting a hold of Kurt and killing him.
Bill finds Doris, a model, brings her to his lab and drugs her.
However, before Bill can operate Jan coaxes the monster to break out of the closet and kill Bill. In the process, a table of chemicals is tipped over, starting a fire. The monster collects Doris and escapes the fire.
Jan is left to die.

Dr. Bill takes his girlfriend Jan for a car ride, and she dies when the car crashes. The obsessed doctor manages to salvage Jan's head (but only her head), which he brings back to life in his lab. He then begins his search for a new body for Jan: he plans to kidnap a prostitue, kill her, then transplant Jan's head onto her body. However, Jan has developed ESP in the lab, and seeks revenge against Bill for keeping her alive without her body.
