EDITOR’S NOTE: The Hand was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, March 20, 1965 at 1:00 a.m.

Once in Burma, three captured British soldiers were threatened with torture if they refused to divulge military information. Two refuse and have their hands chopped off. Years later, in London, hands are getting chopped off and the police have no clue.

Directed by Henry Cass and written by Ray Cooney and Tony Hilton, this is kind of all over the place, but you know, it played at 1:00 a.m. on UHF channels usually. It feels like an Edgar Wallace story but even grosser, with hands being shipped in boxes to the cops.

This is more police story than horror movie. Oh well.

You can watch this on Tubi.
