These abilities qualify him to make strong men cower and women swoon. Bela's zombie factory is going full-blast. Corpses carry baskets, grind the mill, do the upstairs work. Bela Lugosi suggests to half-good, half-bad Robert Frazer that they turn Madge into a zombie. After moral convulsions, Frazer gives Madge Bellamy a rose on which is a drop of potent magic. After the wedding ceremony, Bela Lugosi cuts a woman's figure...
