Cosa che non l'aiuta né nella sua professione di avvocato, né nel suo tentativo di difendere i diritti di un medico cinese ingiustamente sfrattato. La storia è abbastanza stupida e il regista Norman Krasna non fa nulla per evitare il peggio.

Tragica attesa
This Universal programmer was based on a Collier's Magazine story by journalist Quentin Reynolds. This story in turn was ostensibly based on a true incident, in which a gangster "returned from the dead" to save an innocent young man from the electric chair. The nurse of the film's title is Katharine McDonald, who falls in love with her prizefighter-patient Lee Burke as he recovers from a beating received in a fixed prizefight. Katharine must fend off the advances of criminal attorney John Dodge, another patient who also loves her and becomes jealous of Lee. But when Lee is framed for the murder of his disgruntled manager, Slice, by a henchman of the fight-fix leader, Joe Largo, Dodge takes on his defense and works with Katherine to discover the real killer. Convicted and sentenced to death, Burke is about to walk the "last mile", as Katharine encourages mortally wounded Largo to a deathbed confession.

Il dottor Miracolo
Nel 1845, a Parigi, durante i festeggiamenti del carnevale, il dottor Mirakle (Bela Lugosi) sbalordisce il pubblico esibendo in un circo delle meraviglie il possente Erik, un gorilla ammaestrato che egli dice di aver catturato nel cuore dell'Africa Nera. In realtà, lo spettacolo costituisce l'alibi per poter, nottetempo, rapire giovani ragazze e realizzare un esperimento che confermerebbe la validità della teoria sull'evoluzione dell'uomo dalla scimmia: individuare un gruppo sanguigno compatibile con quello di Erik per affiancargli una compagna. Poiché le prigioniere non sopravvivono alle trasfusioni, Mirakle con l'aiuto del fedele assistente Janos si sbarazza dei loro corpi gettandoli nella Senna, ma il giovane Pierre Dupin, analizzando i cadaveri, si insospettisce e va a curiosare nel laboratorio di Mirakle appena in tempo per evitare la morte a Camille, sua fidanzata, che il folle scienziato ha appena fatto rapire da Erik.
