A college professor tries to free his wife of her superstitious beliefs by destroying her protective charms, but afterward, terrible things begin to happen to him.
An adaptation of Fritz Lieber's novel, "Conjure Wife," this installment in the "Inner Sanctum" series of movies starring Lon Chaney, Jr., pales a bit by comparison to the novel's 1962 adaptation Burn, Witch, Burn, but still stands out as one of the better films in the series. As psychological thrillers go, it's not particularly expert, but Chaney and the cast of familiar Universal contract players make it a fun diverting one, enhanced by stock music from the studio's horror films.
