West and Gordon are in UsefulNotes/NewOrleans to locate Dr. Armbruster, a missing scientist. An encounter with practitioners of some form of voodoo leaves them with one lead in the form of a strange medallion; Gordon tracks it down while West talks to Dr. Paul Eddington (John Zaremba), former associate of Armbruster's. Their paths converge at the home of Dr. Articulus (Hurd Hatfield), who, with Armbruster and Eddington, had been conducting experiments which turned out to be deadly for the test subjects. Articulus was presumed dead after a laboratory accident, but he survived and is planning revenge against his erstwhile colleagues.
