Pardon the sick joke, but there are more coming, the way this movie turned out.
So a doctor (who, according to his father, is obsessed with "playing God!") takes his fiancee, drives out to his house, and promptly crashes. What happens to the darling debutante? Well, lucky thing that the doctor really IS obsessed with playing God, because he wraps up the head, takes it home, puts the ol' noodle in a lasagna pan, and brings it back to life. But it's kinda hard to make love to a bodiless woman (despite the above statement) so he goes out searching for the nicest body this side of Raquel Welch. Ah, every man's dream come true. But the other Ms. doesn't take kindly to having her mouth taped shut (long story), so she chums up with the Frankenstein monster in the closet (even longer story) and kills the doctor and herself, the suicidal maniac (short story, really.)
It's amazing - Virginia Leith (who acted for Kubrick - I can't recall which film) shows off more acting ability from her head up than most of the actors in this flick can project from their entire body. The only one who comes close is Leslie Daniel, as the doctor's Shakespearean assistant. Oh, I can you dig the subtlety behind the cat-fight ending with the "Meow"? I need not go any further.
