Combined two episodes from May 1944 starring Orson Welles. A determined scientist plans to keep a brain alive in a jar. Donovan’s Brain, the famous novel by Curt Siodmak was deemed so unusual by the producers of Suspense that it was made in two 30-minute parts. Welles as Dr Patrick Cory who has been experimenting with the brain of a dead monkey. When a plane crashed nearby and knowing they’d be unable to save its passenger, ruthless millionaire William Donovan, Dr Cory saw this as an opportunity to keep alive a human brain.
