Frustrated thriller writer Edmond Bancroft Michael Gough owns a private black museum of torture instruments. He hypnotises his assistant Rick Graham Curnow to commit increasingly horrific crimes for Bancroft to write about.Producer Herman Cohen said he got the idea for the film after reading a series of newspaper articles about Scotland Yards Black Museum. He arranged through a contact to visit the museum, then wrote a treatment and later collaborated with Aben Kandel on the screenplay. Cohen says the use of binoculars as murder weapons, and all the other instruments of death in the film, were based on reallife murder cases. ........
