Young women keep disappearing. Actually, a famous surgeon has kidnapped them to conduct grafting experiments with their face skin. He wants to restore his daughter Christine's face that was disfigured in a terrible accident. However, each operation is a failure and the police start to look into the disappearances. The officers dangle Paulette as bait but when the scientist kidnaps the young delinquent, the police lose her trail.
