Synopsis | A man stabs to death another man and gets a spot of blood on his shoulder when he carries the body out to a field to bury it. He tries soap and water and even kerosene but the stain won't come off his skin. He buys a nostrum from a carnival snake oil salesman who promises that it "will restore the flesh" and when he uses it, it removes the blood stain, but regenerates the body of the murder victim who then strangles him. |
