"Butcher" Benton goes to his death in the state prison, cursing the three men who double-crossed him following an armored-car hold-up; "Squeamy" Ellis, Joe Marcelli and Paul Lowe, his attorney and leader of the gang. He vows to return and kill them and dies without revealing the location of the stolen money. Detective Chasen is determined to keep working on the case until the stolen loot is recovered. Benton's body is taken to Professor Bradshaw and his assistant for experimentation, and they manage to restore him to life, making him practically indestructible in the process. He takes off after the three men, getting rid of everybody who stands in his way. He is impervious to police bullets. He kills Ellis and Marcelli, while Lowe seeks police protection. Benton takes to the sewers to recover the hidden loot and the police are powerless to stop him.

Review :
A low budget guilty pleasure
Lon Chaney's face will remind you of jello as too many close-ups of Chaney's face dominate this cheesy, very low budget film.
Chaney is Butcher Benton a penny ante criminal who's been set-up by his lawyer and gangster pals. But he doesn't die in the electrical chair, or by lethal injection either. He just gets mad.
He wants revenge on the lawyer and gangster pals who set him up to take the fall.
The film is done in dragnet documentary style which adds to the campiness of the whole affair considerably. The on-location filming is particularly interesting. It's of Los Angeles' long defunct Angel's Flight area--just prior to it being a victim of urban renewal. L.A. once had cable cars and you'll see them here.
If you're in the mood, you'll have a great time with this low budget, campy, film.
