Three lesser-known Boris Karloff films comprise UNIVERSAL TERROR. In NIGHT KEY, a wronged scientist who has invented an alarm system avenges himself on the man who double-crossed him. In THE CLIMAX, a mad doctor mesmirizes a young singer who reminds him of his lost love who vanished under mysterious circumstances. In THE BLACK CASTLE, a young British noble attends a hunting party of the sadistic Count von Bruno.
