Plot

During a mysterious epidemic in a small Cornish village, the local doctor summons his professor friend for help.

Young workers are dying because of a mysterious epidemic in a little village in Cornwall. Doctor Tompson is helpless and asks professor James Forbes for help, and the professor and his daughter Sylvia travel to Tompson. Soon terrible things happen, beyond imagination or reality. Dead people are seen near an old, unused mine; recently-deceased people seem to have come back to life. Professor Forbes presumes that black magic is involved and someone has extraordinary power. He doesn't know how close he is: the dead become alive because of a magic voodoo ritual, so they must serve their master as mindless zombies.—Matthias Luehr <mluehr@htwm.de>

In 1860, Sir James Forbes and his daughter Sylvia receive a letter from his former brilliant student Dr. Peter Tompson, who is married to Sylvia's former school friend Alice. In this letter, Peter tells that mysterious deaths are happening in the area where he is the local doctor. Sir James and Sylvia decide to visit Peter and help him find out what's happening. When they get there, he realizes that the bodies of the recently-deceased are disappearing from the graves; further investigation reveals to them the existence of zombies in that location.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Sir James Forbes arrives in a remote Cornish village to identify a mysterious plague afflicting the population. Local squire Charles, a disciple of Haitian witchcraft, is using the voodoo magic to resurrect the dead to work in his decrepit, unsafe tin mines that are shunned by the local population. But his magic relies on human sacrifice, and he unleashes his army of the undead on the unsuspecting village with horrific consequences.—yusufpiskin
