Plot:
“Heart transplants are almost routine these days. However, when Doctor James Arnold tries to get approval to perform a heart transplant for his elderly benefactor, the medical society turns him down. However, when his ne’er do well brother accidentally kills a young woman, the doctor takes matters into his own hands. Threatened by a cutoff of funds, his benefactor gets a new heart.
Doctor Arnold has achieved his dream, but because of the young girl’s death can’t tell anyone about his triumph. Meanwhile, his brother goes on a killing rampage and, in the bizarre turn of events that follow, Doctor Arnold also is killed and his heart is transplanted to save a policeman the brother has shot…” United Home Video sleeve synopsis
