OVERVIEW

Dr Georges Bonnet needs his old partner Professor Ludwig Weiss to perform a vital operation on him. If successful it will give him another ten years of youth and health. Until it is performed he must take a secret formula every six hours or his body will return to a state of absolute putrescence.

Professor Weiss later announces to Dr Bonnet that he cannot perform the operation because of paralysis in his arms. Dr Bonnet, also a sculptor, tries to persuade Dr Pierre Gerard, his model's suitor, to perform the operation instead.

When an Inspector LeGris starts to investigate the disappearance of one of Dr Bonnet's models, evidence accumulates that Dr Bonnet may be more than one hundred years old!
