CORRUPTION

“where will the bodies turn up next? ...under a car seat? ...in a valise? ...or in a deep-freeze?”

A surgeon discovers that he can restore the beauty to his girlfriend's scarred face by murdering other women and extracting fluids from their pituitary gland. However, the effects only last for a short time, so he has to kill more and more women. It is ultimately a killing spree which ends with considerable death and disaster.
