The Walking Dead (1936)
A group of corrupt city officials led by Nolan conspire to have an honest judge killed and frame an innocent ex-convict, John Ellman, for the murder. In order to ensure Ellman's conviction, Nolan acts as his defense attorney and suppresses key evidence that could prove his innocence. Despite this, a scientist, Dr. Beaumont, is able to successfully revive Ellman using cutting-edge technology. Driven by a higher power, Ellman seeks revenge on the criminals who wronged him, ultimately leading to their violent deaths. In the end, Ellman dies once again and reminds Beaumont to leave the dead to rest.
