Synopsis:
In the Edinburgh of the early 1800s, a doctor employs dubious means to procure recently deceased material on which to perform his anatomical experiments, and his procurers start taking short cuts.

Hammer-style filming of a Ronald Harwood script based on a Dylan Thomas original which merely adds colour to earlier treatments of the unpleasant Burke and Hare episode (The Flesh & the Fiends, The Body Snatcher).
