LOVE and MURDER are the two consuming passions of the Rue Morgue!

In turn-of-the-century Paris, Cesar Charron owns a theater at the Rue Morgue where he performs the titular play with his wife, Madeleine Charron, who suffers dreadful nightmares. When several murders by acid connect to Cesar, the prime suspect of Inspector Vidocq would be Cesar's former partner, Rene Marot.
