Killer Plant

Lenore was the secretary, lab assistant, and girlfriend of Dr. Lewis Parker, a scientist who sought to turn plants into people. His theory was to feed human blood to young plants. He started with Lenore’s blood. He became obsessed with his experiments, escalating to grave robbing. When he could take no more blood from Lenore or the bodies of the deceased, he kidnapped an escaped criminal, Danny Raphel, to feed his plant. Lenore lashed out at Parker, calling him a killer, but during the struggle she was stabbed by a syringe. Seeing his beloved dying, Parker was brought to his senses. In order to save her life, Parker took the blood he had injected into the plant from the criminal, and injected it into Lenore. While the injection revived Lenore, she transformed into a plant, with the same killer instincts as the murderous blood donor Raphel. She strangled Parker.
