Dana Andrews stars in the ghoulish, sci-fi horror story the Frozen Dead. Twenty years after World War II has ended, members of the Nazi party remain, and they are determined to again rise to power. Having funded German doctor Rupert Norberg's (Andrews) cryogenic experiments since the war, the party makes it clear that they expect him to reanimate some 1,500 frozen Nazis! Fearful for his life, Norberg continues his research - in increasingly horrific, murderous ways. But when his niece's (Anna Palk) best friend goes missing, the young woman tries desperately to enlist help from an American scientist (Philip Gilbert) to stop the madness. Andrews took many jobs to pay the bills while trying to make it "big." His boss at a Van Nuys gas station was so impressed with the actor's determination that he paid for his acting and singing lessons.
