Synopsis: From the "Saturday Review", April 18, 1900, p. 534: "The pseudo-scientific has a fascination for many writers and apparently an appreciative audience. The idea of restoring to activity the numbed faculties of Lord Carsdale -- who through an accident in the hunting-field has been reduced to a state of semi-paralysis -- by introducing into his brain a portion of the brain of a recently executed criminal is redeemed from absolute gruesomeness by some amusing episodes."
