Synopsis
Sherry Carson, a television show hostess, and her sportswriter fiancé, Jack, watch an obscure magician, Montag, perform in a small theater. After an unspectacular beginning, Montag calls a woman from the audience and saws her in half. The woman is apparently unharmed and returns to her seat, but an hour later, while she is sitting in a restaurant, she dies, her body severed in two. Sherry, unaware of Montag's true powers, invites him to appear on her show. Meanwhile, his gruesome tricks continue to result in the delayed deaths of his female subjects. Appearing on the television show, Montag hypnotizes the entire audience, and a drop of blood appears on each person's hand. Jack, realizing the danger, rushes to the studio and pushes Montag into a fiery cauldron. Later at Sherry's apartment, Jack removes his face and becomes Montag. He dismembers Sherry, but she shares the magic power and transports Montag back to his initial performance.
