It was released theatrically in 1965 on a double-bill with Warren's similarly constructed Face of the Screaming Werewolf.
An avid gambler moves into a cursed house in which he discovers a set of sculpted stone hands in a wall niche in the basement.
The hands somehow put a curse on the occupant of the house, and the gambler comes to a bad end financially.
The house passes down to a different family in time, and the new owner's son becomes obsessed with the stone hands in the basement.
He begins acting sadistically and develops hypnotic abilities, which he uses to control his brother's fiancee.
