Two people are shipwrecked on an island where a demented count lives. His wife has leprosy and is also mad, and a young slave girl who lives with the couple has had her tongue cut out by pirates. The two survivors of the shipwreck are imprisoned and tortured by the count. They try to
escape but have no luck, and soon the wife's leprosy is passed on to everyone. A sad venture to sit and look at, and a positive travesty of the cinematic art form.
