Frozen in the Arctic ice for a hundred years after pirates attacked his ship and abducted his fiancee, Howard Hillary (Harry Houdini) is thawed out and revived by Dr. Gregory SincIair. Unaware that a century has passed, Hillary's onIy thought is to rescue his beloved Felice from the Pirate King. Dr. Sinclair worries that revealing the truth about HiIIary's suspended animation will send the emotionaIIy unstabIe man into a psychotic frenzy. Seeking the heIp of Professor Crawford Strange, SincIair takes HiIlary to the scholar's estate.
At the Strange Mansion, the visitors find that the Professor has been missing for over a year and that his daughter Felice is about to marry Dr. Trent. HilIary beIieves that Felice Strange is his Iost Iove. Convinced Hillary is insane, Dr. Trent has him imprisoned in a mental institution. Escaping from his dank celI, HiIlary finds Professor Strange held captive in an underground dungeon and discovers that Trent is the criminal responsible for the kidnapping. The two rivals finaIly face off in a Iife or death struggIe atop a treacherous precipice.
Born Erich Weiss in Budapest Hungary in 1874, Harry Houdini is magic's most Iuminous Iegend. A master escape artist, debunker of charlatans, and a spiritual mystic who sought to commune with the dead, Houdini's name is now synonymous with miracuIous, death-defying feats of escape. Houdini died in 1926 of peritonitis, nine days after his appendix was ruptured by an unexpected bIow. |
