Check out what happened in The Man with Two Brains!
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, a brilliant brain surgeon still reeling from the loss of his wife, has revolutionized the field with his pioneering "cranial screw-top" technique. His life is forever changed when he saves Dolores Benedict (character A), a cunning and manipulative socialite, after she's accidentally struck by his vehicle while fleeing the scene of her husband's untimely demise - a tragedy orchestrated by her own deceitful machinations. As Dolores recovers under Michael's care, they marry, but their union is soon marred by her pretenses about being too ill to consummate the marriage, citing a persistent headache that only fuels her games of emotional manipulation.
Their honeymoon and business trip to Vienna, a city gripped by fear of the notorious "Elevator Killer," becomes a surreal backdrop for Michael's encounter with Dr. Alfred Necessiter, a maverick scientist who's developed a revolutionary method for preserving living brains in liquid-filled jars - using the Elevator Killer's own victims as test subjects. As Michael delves deeper into Necessiter's work, he discovers an uncanny connection to one of the preserved brains, that of Anne Uumellmahaye, through their shared love of singing "Under the Bamboo Tree." The telepathic bond between Michael and Anne blossoms into a romance, with Michael eventually whisking her brain away to spend more time with her.
Meanwhile, Dolores's suspicions are piqued when she learns about Michael's inheritance from his step-grandmother, and she attempts to rekindle their marriage. However, her efforts are short-lived, as she inadvertently stumbles upon Michael's secret relationship with Anne - a discovery that ultimately prompts her to make a desperate attempt on Anne's life by leaving her brain exposed to the elements and later attempting to incinerate it in an oven. Enraged, Michael banishes Dolores from his home, vowing never to yield to her demands for financial compensation.
As the stakes escalate, Michael seeks Necessiter's counsel, only to be told that brains preserved in tanks have a limited lifespan - with Anne being his longest-living specimen to date. Recognizing the urgency of their situation, Necessiter proposes transplanting Anne's brain into the body of a recently deceased woman, revealing that he has refined a process capable of achieving this feat. Michael becomes fixated on finding the perfect recipient, targeting Fran, a prostitute with an ear-piercing voice - only to be foiled by his own moral compass. In a bizarre twist, Michael spots Dolores's lifeless body in an elevator, only to discover that her killer is none other than Merv Griffin, the very same "Elevator Killer" terrorizing Vienna. As the authorities close in on the culprit, Michael seizes the opportunity to claim Dolores's corpse and facilitate her eventual demise, bringing a macabre sense of closure to their tumultuous relationship.
As Michael's urgency propels him to Necessiter's laboratory, he hastily transports Dolores's lifeless form into the scientist's hands. However, their hasty arrival is met with a sudden obstacle - the Austrian authorities, who suspect Michael of reckless driving under the influence. Despite the absurdity of the situation, Michael's steadfast determination and an assortment of unorthodox sobriety tests ultimately convince the police of his sobriety. Yet, as Dolores's body begins to twitch and convulse, the officers are jolted into reality - she was not inebriated, but deceased. The pursuit is on, with Michael's vehicle becoming the focal point of a high-speed chase.
Michael manages to reach Necessiter's lab, where the scientist expertly transplants Anne's consciousness into Dolores's lifeless form. The stunned onlookers include the very police officers who had earlier given Michael a clean bill of health. As an unforeseen consequence, Michael is jolted by an electrical shock from the equipment and succumbs to a deep coma.
Six weeks later, Michael awakens to find Anne - now occupying Dolores's body - standing beside him. Her new form has also brought with it an unexpected peculiarity: a compulsive penchant for overindulgence in food, resulting in a significant increase in her weight. Undeterred by this transformation, Michael's love for Anne remains unwavering, and the two proceed to exchange vows in a heartfelt ceremony.
In a cryptic message that appears on-screen at the credits' end, the audience is implored to remain vigilant - Merv Griffin, notorious fugitive, has yet to surrender as promised. If you should happen to cross paths with this elusive individual, it is crucial that you report his whereabouts to the authorities without delay.
