The Atomic Brain

Ok the plot line on this movie is a bit weird so stay with me.
Brilliant scientist, Otto Frank is experimenting with Atomic power and all its various uses. He harnesses its potential and soon realises that it can be used in transplanting the human brain from one body to another.
Enter his wife into the story, Hetty, she is a self obsessed and aging old woman. The only reason that Otto is with her is that she is funding his research. Now she intends to collect on her investment.
She hires three housekeepers / domestics. Anita is a stunning and beautiful Mexican. Next is Bea a British beauty and lastly plain but nice Austrian Nina.
She has the evil idea to transplant her brain from her old decrepit body and into one of their bodies.
Who will she choose? How will she kill that one and will her ...

The Cast and Performances
