synopsis
A sinister Scientist's experiments in grafting produce, for example rats with leaves, and the transplantation of a man's brain into a bull's body, and vice versa, resulting in a smart cow and a Minotaur. Ultimately the German villain who has already occupied the scientist's brain transplants himself into the body of a car, but the machinery, thus rendered mortal, putrefies.
