'Before I Hang' sees Boris Karloff as elderly Dr Garth imprisoned for poisoning a patient of his, having originally hoped to reverse the aging process on him, with tragic results.
Once inside the jail, he is sentenced to die within 2 weeks, but allowed to use the prison laboratory up until that point to work on his miracle elixir.
As his judgement day draws closer, Dr Garth decides to test his elixir on himself, without realising he has tainted himself with the blood of a dangerous murderer at the same time. This sets him on a terrifying rampage that no one is able to stop.
Karloff is good in this, and has a suitably Jekyll/Hyde personality to fit his character. Creepy stuff.
