"The Vine of Death" turns out to be one of the more watchable episodes, as archaeologist Frank Dylan (Ingemar Pallin) receives a shipment of 4000 year old calcified bulbs from Malaysia, from a plant known as Mirada, the 'death vine.' Before he has a chance to plant the petrified bulbs in his hothouse, he is accidentally killed by his best friend, Wallace Forten (Larry Falk, also seen in "Green Are the Leaves"), during a struggle over Dylan's wife Terry (Pat Clavin, also seen in "The Black Hand"). She is persuaded not to call the police by Forten, who insists that because she was the one who picked up the knife, she's just as guilty of murder as he is. They decide to bury his corpse in the same place he intended to plant the Mirada, unaware of its attraction to the heat of a human body, winding themselves around humans and strangling them. It ends in predictable fashion yet remains enjoyable (predating a similar story in 1964's "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors"), with host Lon Chaney getting more to do this time around.
