The Man Who Could Cheat Death

Dr. Georges Bonnet is a renowned sculptor and scientist in Paris in the late 19th century, possessing a secret that he has kept hidden for decades. Bonnet has found a way to achieve near immortality by undergoing a glandular operation every ten years, which allows him to maintain his youth and vigor. With his latest operation drawing near, he finds himself in a dire situation after his aging colleague and surgeon, Professor Ludwig Weiss, who has been performing the procedures, suffers a debilitation and can no longer assist him. Desperate, Bonnet turns to his old friend, Dr. Pierre Gerrard, hoping to convince him to carry out the life-saving surgery.

Complications arise as Dr. Gerrard grows suspicious of Bonnet's true motives and the unnatural circumstances surrounding his health. Meanwhile, Janine Dubois, a beautiful young woman who is unaware of Bonnet's dark secret but is romantically involved with him, becomes increasingly entangled in the drama. Her feelings for Bonnet and attraction to Dr. Gerrard create further tension, heightening the urgency of Bonnet's predicament. As time runs out and Bonnet's desperation intensifies, a harrowing struggle ensues, setting the stage for an inevitable confrontation between science, morality, and the unyielding march of time.
